简介
在20世纪二三十年代，交通、通信、技术和广告的进步加速了美国现代生活的节奏，也改变了人们的生活方式以及他们选择与之相伴的物品。一个新的职业应运而生，帮助美国制造商和消费者应对这一时代铺天盖地的变革。通过形式、色彩、装饰和材料的设计力量，最早的工业设计师们创造了一种现代美学，这种美学后来代表了美国的希望、梦想和幻想。《美国走向现代》通过对精选杰作的细致考察，探讨了这些设计师的成就。每一件杰出的物品都为其被制造和使用的社会、文化、技术和经济世界打开了一扇窗口。书中收录了来自那个时代顶尖设计师的时尚家具、充满活力的陶瓷、流线型金属制品和创新的塑料制品。设计师包括Norman Bel Geddes、Donald Deskey、Paul Frankl、Victor Schreckengost、Walter Dorwin Teague、Russel Wright等。书中还收录了Berenice Abbott、Arthur Dove、Margaret Bourke-White、Alfred Stieglitz等摄影师和画家的作品。

During the 1920s and 1930s, the speed of modern life in the United States, accelerated by advances in transportation, communication, technology and advertising, changed how people lived their lives, and the objects they chose to live with. A new profession emerged to help American manufacturers and consumers navigate the overwhelming transitions of the era. Through the power of design—form, color, ornament and materials—the earliest industrial designers created a modern aesthetic that came to represent American hopes, dreams and fantasies. America Goes Modern explores these designers‘ achievements through close examination of selected masterworks. Each of these exceptional objects offers a window into the social, cultural, technological and economic world in which they were made and used. The book features sleek furniture, vibrant ceramics, streamlined metalwares and innovative plastics from the leading designers of the era. Designers include: Norman Bel Geddes, Donald Deskey, Paul Frankl, Victor Schreckengost, Walter Dorwin Teague, Russel Wright, and many more. Photographers and painters include: Berenice Abbott, Arthur Dove, Margaret Bourke-White, and Alfred Stieglitz.
