Summary:
Modernism dominated craft and design in Canada from the 1940's through the 1970's. At one time Canadian art museums encouraged industrial design and even The National Gallery of Canada presented several exhibitions meant to introduce the country to the work of Canadian designers and the modernist style. This publication outlines the modernist viewpoints held by Canada's most prominent designers and craft artists working in this period. Featured are dozens of pieces of furniture, ceramics, and household items that best illustrate modernist preoccupation with form, color, texture, experimentation, functionality, and honest use of materials. Items chosen reflect an interest in new materials and techniques and an awareness of contemporary trends in abstract art and Modern architecture. Accompanied by biographies of the leading designers of the time.
