Description

This book explores the relationship of modernism and domesticity, a contested realm which, perpetually invoked in order to be denied, has remained a crucial though marginalized element of modernism. From the Victorian period, through Aestheticism and the Arts and Crafts Movement, in fin-de-siecle France and Sweden and within the twentieth-century avant-gardes of Paris, Vienna, London, Boston, Berlin and New York, up to the present time, domesticity and art, architecture and design are interwoven.
