Mark Mussari explores the relationship between Danish design aesthetics and the theoretical and cultural impact of Modernism, particularly between 1930 and 1960. He considers how Danish designers responded to early Modernist currents: the Stockholm Exhibition of 1930, their rejection of Bauhaus aesthetic demands, their early fealty to wood and materials, and the tension between cabinetmaker craft and industrial production as it challenged and altered their aesthetic approach. Tracing the theoretical foundations for these developments, Mussari discusses the writings and works of such figures as Poul Henningsen, Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner, Nanna Ditzel, and Finn Juhl"-- Mark Mussari. e-dk--- Modernism (Aesthetics) Denmark Design Denmark History 20th century BH301.M54 M87 2016 745.409489/0904 9781474223706 1474223702 9781474223720 1474223729 2015035977 150916 20230921135252.0 0000030419
