From the dust jacket:
"Midcentury craftspeople were rebels amongst rebels. They were artists, architects, and designers who reshaped, rethought, and reinvented everything familiar in everyday life. They balanced and blended the ancient protagonists Form and Function, bringing art to the ordinary
Collecting Modern focuses on non-factory producers of furniture and ceramics. Beginning with a brief historical review of Modern design, which started in Europe and challenged craftsmen to make a design statement of their own"
