OverviewA treasure trove of Mexican modernist design uniting craft and industry from the past seven decades. In 1952, Cuban Mexican designer Clara Porset organized Mexico's first design exhibition, El arte en la vida diaria: Objetos de buen diseño hechos en México (Art in Daily Life: Well-Designed Objects Made in Mexico). The show marked a turning point in the trajectory of Mexican design by envisioning the unification of local traditions and industrialization. A Handmade Modernism reviews the notion of craft design produced and theorized in Mexico from 1950 to the present, tracing a genealogy of artists, designers and craftspeople who have created a hybrid, mestizo material culture, and thereby create an image of a new way of life. Through a series of essays, installation shots and archival images, the book examines the wealth of industrial graphic design, clothing, furniture, objects, jewelry and fashion created during the last 70 years in Mexico. SELLING POINTS: . A Handmade Modernism is a colourful book which explores industrial graphic design, clothing, furniture, objects, jewellery and fashion. . One of its main purposes is to act as a reference for the history of design in Mexico. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Ana Elena Mallet , Cuauhtemoc Medina , Deborah Dorotinsky , Jorge F.
