Description:
US: Taschen, 2000. Paperback. Good. Sleek, stuffed, buttoned, or bent, in the den or the dining room, the chair is an indicator of its owner's identity. Chairs make up much of the interi or landscape of our homes and workplaces, and a comfortable chair is consid ered a great asset in either location. A rigorous survey of the last 150 ye ars of chairs, 1000 Chairs is a pictorial guide to the axiom "you are where you sit." Writers Charlotte and Peter Fiell argue that, as well as being a n icon of identity, the chair is a form through which designers engage in s ocial, political, and even ergonomic rhetoric. A good example is George Nel son's mass-produced modular seating system. Geometrical in design, its aust ere, mostly rectilinear lines are efficient and economical. The book follow s developments and mutations in chair design from the days before art deco through the rise of modernity and into the mid-'90s, when designers like Ph ilippe Starck used such materials as recycled plastic and injection…

US: TATE, 2005. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. One of a series introducing major movements in modern art to general readers, students and gallery visitors, this text looks at Cubism, perhaps the seminal movement for the arts of the 20th century, and certainly one of the most complex. Divided between the annual public exhibitions or the emerging network of private galleries, between French and immigrant artists, it was also the product of the decade before the outbreak of war in 1914. Behind the cliched image of "la belle epoque" France was torn by inter-class and international tensions, caught between excitement over the experience of modernity and anxiety about its consequences. The book describes how the artistic avant-garde, and Cubism within it, were formed by that turbulent and complex period. Analyzing paintings by Picasso, Braque, Robert and Sonia Delaunay…
