Download or read book Art Deco Chicago written by Robert Bruegmann and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expansive take on American Art Deco that explores Chicago's pivotal role in developing the architecture, graphic design, and product design that came to define middle-class style in the twentieth century Frank Lloyd Wright’s lost Midway Gardens, the iconic Sunbeam Mixmaster, and Marshall Field’s famed window displays: despite the differences in scale and medium, each belongs to the broad current of an Art Deco style that developed in Chicago in the first half of the twentieth century. This ambitious overview of the city’s architectural, product, industrial, and graphic design between 1910 and 1950 offers a fresh perspective on a style that would come to represent the dominant mode of modernism for the American middle class. Lavishly illustrated with 325 images, the book narrates Art Deco’s evolution in 101 key works, carefully curated and chronologically organized to tell the story of not just a style but a set of sensibilities. Critical essays from leading figures in the field discuss the ways in which Art Deco created an entire visual universe that extended to architecture, advertising, household objects, clothing, and even food design. Through this comprehensive approach to one of the 20th century’s most pervasive modes of expression in America, Art Deco Chicago provides an essential overview of both this influential style and the metropolis that came to embody it.

Book excerpt: The author's story begins in a cramped apartment above an auto repair shop in Wataga, Illinois. An alcoholic, frequently violent father, hops from one manual labor job to another before landing the family in the small town of Avon. It is in this community where a boy grows from the age of five to early manhood and where he is imprinted with the beginnings of his world view. At an early age, he encounters abuse, loneliness and a sense of alienation (toward community and even family). Yet, this is not a sob story. There is much joy, devilish humor, and even vivid descriptions of small town life that are some of the most enjoyable aspects of the story. As a bonus, the narrative repeatedly makes a direct connection to the dynamics of the 2020s, showing how the forces of today have impacted the life of those earlier decades. As Dr. Tucker states in her insightful Foreword: "In its own right, the book is a study of class, gender, and racial dynamics in that mid-twentieth century milieu." A benevolent autopsy, if you will, showing not only the "idyllic" side of life back in that day but also the constraints (read: social norms) that hold a community together--as well as the excesses of human nature that are present in all communities. The narrative is at its most powerful when exposing the (again to use Dr. Tucker's words) the "toxic masculinity" that was undeniably present then in many familes and communities, and agruable is still present today. In sum, this memoir is a rich, detailed and gritty account of a past era, wrapped around a story of triumph, where a young man had every encouragement to fail and did so repeatedly--before finding his cornbread.
