Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive examination of California''s mid-century modern design, generously illustrated. In 1951, designer Greta Magnusson Grossman observed that California design was "not a superimposed style, but an answer to present conditions.... It has developed out of our own preferences for living in a modern way." California design influenced the material culture of the entire country, in everything from architecture to fashion. This generously illustrated book, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is the first comprehensive examination of California''s mid-century modern design. It begins by tracing the origins of a distinctively California modernism in the 1930s by such European émigrés as Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, and Kem Weber; it finds other specific design influences and innovations in solid-color commercial ceramics, inspirations from Mexico and Asia, new schools for design training, new concepts about leisure, and the conversion of wartime technologies to peacetime use (exemplified by Charles and Ray Eames''s plywood and fiberglass furniture). The heart of California Design is the modern California home, famously characterized by open plans conducive to outdoor living. The layouts of modernist homes by Pierre Koenig, Craig Ellwood, and Raphael Soriano, for example, were intended to blur the distinction between indoors and out. Homes were furnished with products from Heath Ceramics, Van Keppel-Green, and Architectural Pottery as well as other, previously unheralded companies and designers. Many objects were designed to be multifunctional: pool and patio furniture that was equally suitable indoors, lighting that was both task and ambient, bookshelves that served as room dividers, and bathing suits that would turn into ensembles appropriate for indoor entertainment. California Design includes 350 images, most in color, of furniture, ceramics, metalwork, architecture, graphic and industrial design, film, textiles, and fashion, and ten incisive essays that trace the rise of the California design aesthetic. of wartime technologies to peacetime use (exemplified by Charles and Ray Eames''s plywood and fiberglass furniture).

This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely celebrated as the father of the Studio Furniture Movement, Wharton Esherick is one of the most important furniture designers of the twentieth century. Presenting his preserved hillside house and studio, this book showcases seven decades of innovative woodwork and sculpture, embodying his influence on American art and design. Wharton Esherick (1887–1970) stands as a pivotal figure in 20th-century American art, craft, and design. Now known as the Wharton Esherick Museum, the artist’s self-proclaimed “autobiography in three dimensions” on Valley Forge Mountain, constructed between 1926 and 1966, served as his creative epicenter and a vibrant community hub. To introduce Esherick’s visionary work to a broader public, this book draws on the museum’s collection of almost 3,000 objects, many never before seen outside his home and studio, following Esherick’s evolution from paintings and woodcut illustrations to his revolutionary fusion of furniture and organic sculpture. Through fully contextualizing iconic works in Esherick’s own space, this book immerses readers in his creative world while capturing his unparalleled artistic contributions to the realms of furniture, architecture, prints, drawings, and sculpture.

Book excerpt: Hudson Roysher (American, 1911-1993), a silversmith, designer, and craftsman, flourished in postwar California amid rapid change. While working as a metalsmith, he explored, in the 1930s and 1940s, the industrial design field and the dominant presence of mass-production and consumerism in a technology-hungry nation. He discovered, however, that craft gave him stability, roots, and a link to the past-qualities that are also conveyed in his work, both secular and sacred. Roysher's participation in the revival of ecclesiastical silver taking place at mid-century helped to form his belief that craft, for both religious and non-religious purposes, could connect the user (and maker) to something constant against the backdrop of an increasingly modernized and anxious nation. Craft also served as an embodiment of individuality and of finding one's purpose among the masses. Through his objects, Roysher established a connection to the past and to something familiar by using traditional materials and forms. These forms, however, did embrace characteristics popular in mid-century modern design: clean lines, plain surfaces, and gentle curves. By fusing both the past and the present, Roysher eased Americans into a nation undergoing change in a style that might best be described as "traditional modernism." These works embraced change, but these changes were less dramatic than other strands of modernism in postwar America. While Roysher's works stand for the rejection of mass-production, he, too, is an example of how some mid-twentieth century Americans dealt with uncertainty and change. By becoming a silversmith, he established himself in a long lineage of craftsmen who created both secular and sacred objects. Recognized as "one of the leading silversmiths in the United States [for] his ecclesiastical work," Roysher worked almost exclusively on the production of sacred art from roughly 1951 to the early 1960s. He received over forty commissions, divided almost equally between Catholic and Episcopal churches throughout Southern California, to furnish the growing number of religious structures. An investigation of Roysher's mid-century modern works thus extends the current body of knowledge on the long tradition of metalsmithing, and it opens the door for exploration into the nascent field of sacred craft.
