Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Published to coincide with a major exhibition organized by the
Victoria & Albert Museum in April 2000, this beautifully illustrated

aimed to transform their world by challenging convention, abandoning
academic styles, and embracing a modern aesthetic based on sources
such as plant forms, Celtic patterns, and Japanese art. Following an
introduction by Greenhalgh (research, Victoria & Albert Museum), 20
leading scholars discuss the creation of meaning, the materials of
invention, and the metropolis and the designer. Period photography
provides a visual context for the individual works. Contains 507
illustrations, including 407 color plates. Oversize: 10x11.5<">.
