Articoli correlati a Century of the Child: Growing by Design 1900-2000
In 1900, Swedish design reformer and social theorist Ellen Key published The Century of the Child, presaging the coming century as a period of intensified focus and progressive thinking around the rights, development, and wellbeing of children. Taking inspiration from Key – and looking back through the twentieth century – this volume, published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, examines individual and collective visions for the material world of children, from utopian dreams for the ‘citizens of the future’ to the dark realities of political conflict and exploitation. Surveying more than one hundred years of school architecture, clothing, toys, children’s hospitals, nurseries, furniture, posters, animation and books, this richly illustrated catalogue illuminates how progressive design has enhanced the physical, intellectual and emotional development of children and, conversely, how models of children’s play have informed experimental aesthetics and imaginative design thinking – engendering, in the process, reappraisals of some of the iconic names in twentieth-century design and enriching the unfolding narrative of modern design with other, less familiar figures.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. From toys, furniture, books and clothing to playgrounds, schools, childrens hospitals and nurseries, Century of the Child looks at innovative visions for the material world of children In 1900, Swedish design reformer and social theorist Ellen Key published The Century of the Child, presaging the coming century as a period of intensified focus and progressive thinking around the rights, development and well-being of children. Taking inspiration from Key-and looking back through the twentieth century-this volume, published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, examines individual and collective visions for the material world of children, from utopian dreams for the "citizens of the future" to the dark realities of political conflict and exploitation. Surveying more than 100 years of toys, clothing, playgrounds, schools, children's hospitals, nurseries, furniture, posters, animation and books, this richly illustrated catalogue illuminates how progressive design has enhanced the physical, intellectual, and emotional development of children and, conversely, how models of children's play have informed experimental aesthetics and imaginative design thinking-engendering, in the process, reappraisals of some of the iconic names in twentieth-century design and enriching the unfolding narrative of modern design with other, less familiar figures. Divided into seven sections-"New Century, New Child, New Art"; "Avant-Garde Playtime"; "Light, Air, Health"; "Children and the Body Politic"; "Regeneration"; "Power Play"; and "Designing Better Worlds"-The Century of the Child focuses on individuals and projects that represent innovative and comprehensive contributions to design for children.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. Bw photographic boards with white lettering on chartreuse cloth spine. 263 pp. with color and bw images throughout. Did the 20th century live up to what Swedish design reformer and social theorist Elley Key, writing in 1900, envisaged as "the century of the child"? This book, produced in conjunction with a major exhibition at MoMA, tracks the fascinating confluence between the cultures of modern design and childhood, through an introductory essay by Kinchin, 65 short essays, and more than 400 illustrations. The book surveys more than 100 years of school architecture, playgrounds, toys and games, educational materials, nurseries, furniture, animations, propaganda, and more. Quite an exhibition and a study. Very thought-provoking. Codice articolo 148125
