Items related to The Style of the Century: 1900-1908
In this ambitious book Bevis Hillier cuts a wide swath through social and decorative history and gives a far-ranging view of the twentieth century, from Edwardiana and Art Nouveau to the Swinging Sixties, the Cynical Seventies and beyond.
The book is about the way we live, as well as about art styles and taste. It roves freely over architecture, fashion, automobile design, social conditions, ideas, pop music and the whole gamut of the decorative arts. It is presented with Bevis Hillier's usual wit, panache and ability to pick out the most salient and revealing aspects of each period.
