World History of Design

World War I to World War II: 2

Victor Margolin

This second volume of this much-acclaimed history begins with the impact of revolution and Soviet ideology on design in Russia, 1905 to 1933, and follows the political and economic turmoil of the early 20th century up to the end of the war in the Pacific. Each chapter deals with a single or a group of nations, including colonial regions, with a final survey of design during the Second World War.

This is the second volume of the World History of Design, the definitive historical account of global design by pre-eminent design scholar Victor Margolin.

The second volume covers the period between World War I and II, when mass production and mass communication spread to most parts of the world. There are also focused accounts of design in particular places and in particular periods during this period, among these topics are the relations between art and industry in Germany between 1890 and 1914; the avant-gardes in Eastern Europe, 1917-1930; design in the Weimar Republic, 1918-1933; and the consultant designers in the United States, 1929-1939.

This richly illustrated volume contains over 490 images, with over 80 in full colour.
