Seller's Description:
VG/VG. Red cloth, blue & illus. dust jacket, 375 pp. 55 color, over 350 bw repros. A lavishly illustrated, important catalogue, published to accompany the exhibition held in Brooklyn Oct. 17, 1986 to Feb. 16, 1987, followed by three other locations. "Captures the mood, the energy, of an age in transition--the years between the two world wars. Although there were vast differences between the decades encompassed--prosperity in the 1920s, depression in the 30s--the machine was the principal motivating force in each. America, on the verge of a new art, and ultimately a new culture, had come into her own at last. From her great achievements in technology and industry would arise not simply a modern style, but an entirely new way of life." (dj) The majority of the illustrated essays are by Richard Guy Wilson, with contributions by Dianne H. Pilgrim, Dickran Trashjian. Covers mainly architecture and sculpture; a marvelous assemblage. Contents as follows: America and the machine age; Machine aesthetics; Selling the machine age; The machine in the landscape; Transportation machine design; Architecture in the machine age / Richard Guy Wilson. Engineering a new art / Dickran Tashjian--Design for the machine / Dianne H. Pilgrim--The machine age and beyond / Richard Guy Wilson, Dianne H. Pilgrim, Dickran Tashjian.
