81.95 €

The New Graphic Design in the United States 1890–1940 Venturing across five decades of American culture, this landmark book explores how modern graphic design emerged in the United States and how it became an intrinsic feature of the country’s identity. Christopher Long tells this story in a wholly new way, exposing many long-forgotten figures and movements, and resurrecting the debates and conceptions that were integral to the new art. In a series of deeply involving portraits of American artists and innovators who helped shape the very look of the modern age, American Modernness offers a sweeping story of the country’s visual culture and its distinctiveness. Christopher Long is Martin S. Kermacy Centennial Professor in the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of more than twenty books, including Lucian Bernhard and Adolf Loos: Meaning, Context, Reception—Essays. Tato průkopnická kniha zkoumá, jak se ve Spojených státech utvářel moderní grafický design a jak stal se neodmyslitelnou součástí americké kultury a identity země. Christopher Long vypráví tento příběh zcela novým způsobem, připomíná mnoho dávno zapomenutých osobností a hnutí a oživuje debaty a koncepce, které byly nedílnou součástí nového umění. V sérii strhujících portrétů amerických umělců a inovátorů, kteří se podíleli na utváření samotné podoby moderní doby, nabízí publikace Americká moderna: Nový grafický design ve Spojených státech 1890–1940 rozsáhlý a osobitý příběh vizuální kultury. Christopher Long je profesorem na Fakultě architektury Texaské univerzity v Austinu. Napsal více jak dvacet knih, mimo jiné Lucian Bernhard či Adolf Loos: Význam, kontext, recepce / Eseje.
