Modernity took many forms in 1930s Japan, but in the tumultuous years before militarism pushed the country toward global aggression, it was most visibly associated with a glittering consumer culture.

Summary:
Modernity took many forms in 1930s Japan, but in the tumultuous years before militarism pushed the country toward global aggression, it was most visibly associated with a glittering consumer culture. Inundated with western jazz-age trends and new technologies, Japan’s big cities, especially Tokyo, offered the most enticing attractions to a newly liberated generation: bustling streets of department stores, cafés and teahouses, movie theaters and ballroom dance halls. Modern architecture, industrial design and fashion overshadowed traditional arts as Japan strove to take its place in a cosmopolitan world. The Brittle Years examines the different ways in which designers and artists visualized what it meant to be modern in Japan in the years leading up to World War II. Its 160 full-color illustrations of paintings, textiles and graphic arts are astonishing not only for their great visual impact but also for the insight they provide into a rapidly transforming nation.

Summary:
The Ballets Russes was a phenomenon of the early twentieth century, permeating daily life wherever the company traveled and leaving a lasting impact on dance, theater, and the visual arts. Sergei Diaghilev, impresario from 1909 until his death in 1929, fused the most avant-garde, groundbreaking movements in dance, choreography, art, design, and costume into unique and stunning productions. The work was exciting, and always new, and it stretched the limits of the possible in art. The color, form, and material in costume and set design astonished audiences, transforming every corner of Western culture in the twentieth century. The Ballets Russes and the Art of Design explores these revolutionary icons and ideas, illuminating Sergei Diaghilev's profound revitalization of the arts, which continues to influence us today. Ten essays by internationally recognized experts and 200 color and black-and-white illustrations—many from private collections and never-before-published—discuss a broad range of topics, including set and costume designs, graphic design and poster art, photographs and postcards, Diaghilev's presence in the media, and private and museum collections of Ballets Russes treasures.

Summary:
In 1988 Design Gallery Milano started its business by displaying the exhibition “Bharata” by Ettore Sottsass (with exhibition planning by Michele De Lucchi). Since then, Design Gallery produced hundreds of objects – few of which in more than some dozens copies – that had in common the aim of going beyond the conventional standards of the market circulation. Even if autonomous and independent from the classic industrial market, Design Gallery is a structural phenomenon in the dynamic system of design, since it represents its complementary avant-garde. Through its interpretation of design, conceived as a discipline rather than a profession – research rather than product – Design Gallery marked in fact a story of radical creativity and unbroken experimentation. This book presents through images and words the history of Design Gallery and outlines the philosophy of its development over the past twenty years. The first part of the book features photographs of the Design Gallery warehouse, taken by Michele De Lucchi in the Autumn of 2009. Published in the second part are the texts gathered together during a lunch at Michele De Lucchi’s office on 30th October 2009 with Andrea Branzi, Michele De Lucchi, Brunella and Mario Godani, Alessandro Mendini. The photographs of the objects were chosen from Design Gallery’s historical archives, and are the work of photographers who have followed and encouraged the Gallery’s work. Lastly, the chronology at the end of the book gives the fullest possible details of the Gallery’s annual collections, produced by groups or individual designers and artists.

This book argues that mobility is the central theme of the interwar mode of design known today as Art Deco. It is present on the very surfaces of Art Deco objects and architecture – in iconography and general formal qualities (whether the zigzag rectilinear forms ¬popular in the 1920s or curvilinear streamlining of the 1930s).
