What Is Modern Design?
By Edgar Kaufmann
Excerpt
Why is design important? Why is modern design today different from that of 1920 or even 1940? These are large questions to be answered in so small a book, but three pioneering generations of modern designers and teachers have provided work and ideas which point to the answers. Their ideas are here reduced to precepts (which like all rules should be taken with a grain of salt). From their works only a few examples could be illustrated.
