About This Item
London: Thames & Hudson. Fine. 1989. Soft Cover. 8vo 0500200726 The Sources of Modern Architecture and Design Nikolaus Pevsner. 198 illustrations, 15 in colour. The turn of the nineteenth century saw an extraordinary flowering of invention in architecture and design, with two contrasting styles emerging - Art Nouveau and the International Style. Professor Pevsner brings a new clarity to an often confusing period, tracing - with the aid of nearly two hundred carefully chosen illustrations - the origins of twentieth-century ideas in architecture and the applied arts. 'No one but Dr Pevsner could have packed so much information into so compact a work or illustrated it more effectively' (The Times Literary Supplement) 'There is no more readable, more copiously illustrated survey of the period from the Crystal Palace to the Bauhaus' (The Sunday Telegraph) .
