Containing over 400 illustrations of the Wolfsonian's unique collection of objects, the book looks at the different ways that political, industrial and cultural leaders have employed design in their programs of reform and their efforts to shape public opinion. It shows how design has been a vital tool in acclimatizing people to life in the modern world and has helped to formulate a sense of national identity, especially in European countries, through local crafts and vernacular buildings. From the pages of Designing Modernity emerge some of the most significant trends of our age: the use of design in reconciling people to a loss of individuality resulting from mass production; the use of industrial and advertising design to support the idea that progress is good, that the future holds limitless promise, and that the machine offers comforts only dreamed of previously; the promotion of political goals by both democratic and authoritarian governments through design - in posters, books, board games, furniture, ceramics and countless other forms." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Confronting modernity: traditions transformed - romantic nationalism in design, 1890-1920; German design and national identity, 1890-1918; the decorative arts in Amsterdam, 1890-1930; the English compromise - modern design and national consciousness, 1870-1940. Celebrating modernity: domesticating modernity - ambivalence and appropriation, 1920-1940; forging modern Italy; a "return to order" - issues of the vernacular and the classical in Italian inter-war design. Manipulating modernity - political persuasion: political things - design in Fascist Italy; design in inter-war Germany; emblems of production - workers in German, Italian and American art during the 1930's.
