Postscript summary

Focused on the inter-war years, this is a concise account of how artists and designers responded to technology, modernization and the violence of war by committing themselves to creating a better world through art. Originally accompanying the V&A exhibition ‘Modernism: Designing a New World 1914–1939' and illustrated with photographs of almost 100 exhibits, the book covers Modernist movements such as Bauhaus and International style and their work in art, design and architecture.
