Synopsis:
Exploring a wide range of design experience, this publication is an investigation of design issues spanning almost 100 years of Australian history. The author draws on poets, painters, educators, critics, museum curators, journalists, publishers, architects, industrialists, and others to illustrate the discipline. The volume discusses such topics as Aboriginality and design, Australian design books and magazines, fabrics and interiors furnishings, 1939-1945 war material, design retailing, motor cars, radios, agricultural implements, and many other examples of design and production. The book begins with the Centennial period of the 1880s and explores regional themes in design; the introduction of modern design in Australia; the importance of galleries and department stores in promoting modernism; the role of designers during the 1939-1945 war; the creation of a professional role for design; design and Australian industry; design education; and the early exhibitions, books, writers and periodicals that helped create an audience for modern design. Summaries of the careers of a number of important Australian designers are included.
About the Author:
Michael Bogle is a curator with the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales and a lecturer in the history of design, he has taught at Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York and the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston.
