Inhaltsangabe

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.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sir Nikolaus Pevsner (1902-1983) was the Slade professor of fine art, University of Cambridge, and a fellow of St John's College. He was the first professor of the history of art department at Birkbeck College, University of London, retiring in 1969. He is probably best known for The Buildings of England, completed in more than fifty volumes shortly before his death, and for his An Outline of European Architecture, which has remained a standard work for over forty years.
