"No one but Dr Pevsner could have packed so much information into so compact a work or illustrated it more effectively."—The Times Literary Supplement
The turn of the nineteenth century saw an extraordinary flowering of invention in architecture and design, with two contrasting styles emerging—Art Nouveau and the International Style. Professor Pevsner brings a new clarity to an often confusing period, tracing—with the aid of nearly two hundred carefully chosen illustrations—the origins of twentieth-century ideas in architecture and the applied arts. Black-and-white illustrations throughout"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Sir Nikolaus Pevsner was a German and British scholar of the history of architecture. A dedicated cataloger of the architecture of Britain, he was a founding member of the Victorian Society and a fellow of the British Academy, as well as the recipient of a CBE and a knighthood. He died in 1983.
