| book description |
This is an engaging look at the dominance of modernism in the Canadian art and design scene from 1940 through 1980. Modernism dominated craft and design in Canada from the 1940s through the 1970s. At one time Canadian art museums actively encouraged industrial design, with The National Gallery of Canada presenting several exhibitions to introduce visitors to the work of Canadian designers and the modernist style. This publication outlines the modernist viewpoints held by Canada's most prominent designers and craft artists working in this period, and features dozens of pieces of furniture, ceramics, and household items that best illustrate the modernist preoccupation with form, colour, texture, experimentation, functionality, and honest use of materials - all accompanied by biographies of the leading designers of the time.
