About This Item
Chicago, Il: University of Chicago Press, 1993. Hardcover. VG/VG (minor scuffs along textblock, dust jacket shows minimal shelf wear at corners and spine). Blue paper boards, black spine with metallic blue lettering, white pictorial dust jacket with blue lettering, xv, 512 pp., bw illustrations throughout. "In this ambitious book, Terry Smith chronicles the modernist revolution in American art and design - from its origins in the new industrial culture of the twentieth century to its powerful and transforming effects on the way Americans came to see themselves and their world. From Ford Motor's first assembly line in 1913 to the New York World's Fair in 1939, Smith traces the distinctive visual imagery that evolved as the core of American modernity in the first half of the twentieth century. Illustrated with an extraordinary variety of photographs, many previously unpublished, Making the Modern focuses on the key images of modernity - industry, and workers, cities and crowds, and products and consumers - as portrayed across the broad spectrum of American experience." - from dust jacket.
