Synopsis
In 1934 the five-year-old Museum of Modern Art, New York, opened an exhibition of machine-inspired design. Some 100 objects formed the basis for this collection of new ideas in modern design for industrial, commercial and domestic objects. To mark the 60th anniversary of the exhibition, the Museum has published a facsimile edition of the original catalogue. The book includes names and addresses of manufacturers and retail prices of objects in 1934 currency. It illustrates such items as drill presses, turbines, toasters, tea kettles, billiard balls, clocks, chairs, microscopes and laboratory flasks. The divisions of the exhibition are: industrial units, household and office equipment, kitchenware, house furnishings and accessories, scientific instruments, laboratory glass and porcelain.

Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 60th Anniversary Edition. The beauty of machine art is in part the abstract beauty of "straight lines and circles" made into actual tangible "surfaces and means of tools, solids" "lathes and rulers and visually speaking. a practical application of geometry. squares." Machines are. visually speaking, a practical application of geometry. Forces which act in straight lines are changed in direction and degree by machines which are themselves formed of straight lines and curves. The lever is geometrically a straight line resting on a point. The wheel and axle is composed of concentric circles and radiating straight lines. Divisions of this exhibition are: Industrial units; household and office equipment; kitchenware; house furnishings and accessories; scientific instruments; laboratory glass and porcelain.
