About This Item
New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2005. xiv, 320 pages, illustrations; 26 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. A fine copy of the first printing. "Illustrated with more than 130 photographs of their influential designs, this book tells the story of Joseph Urban and Norman Bel Geddes. Christopher Innes shows how these two men with a background in theater lent dramatic flair to everything they designed and how this theatricality gave the distinctive modernity they created such wide appeal. If the American lifestyle has been much imitated around the globe over the past fifty years, says Innes, it is due in large measure to the designs of Urban and Bel Geddes, Together they were responsible for creating what has been called the 'Golden Age' of American culture. / CHRISTOPHER INNES is Canada Research Chair in Performance & Culture at York University, Toronto." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 4to. Collectible.
