Opis

Emigre Cultures in Design and Architecture considers the lasting contribution made by Central European emigre designers, such as Edward Bernays, Eve Zeisel, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Victor Papanek and Otto and Marie Neurath, to 20th century American design and architecture.Contributors to this important volume address the intellectual and artistic formation of emigre designers in their home countries, and examine how they drew on networks of emigre and exiled designers in the United States in order to develop a design culture in mid-century America that was humanist, progressive and socially inclusive, and which continues to influence contemporary design practice.
