Auto-Opium: A Social History of American Automobile Design


Auto-Opium: A Social History of American Automobile Design

Product Description:
Auto-Opium is the first comprehensive history of the profession and aesthetics of American automobile design. David Gartman reveals how the appearance of vehicles became an integral part of the system of mass production and mass consuption forged in the struggles of American society.

The book traces the development of automobile design, from the first utilitarian cars around the turn of the century to the most modern of symbol-laden cultural icons. The author shows that the aesthetic qualities of vehicles were shaped by the social conflicts generated by the process of mass production. These conflicts became channeled into the realm of mass consumption, where working Americans demanded beautiful,stylish and contantly improving cars to compensate them for the deprevations of mass production. Combining a unique blend of business, social and cultural history, Auto-Opium connects the social struggles of designers within firms and the marketplace struggles between auto firms.

Okay!
This book is okay! It has given me tons of great ideas! Personally, I enjoy the History Alive (TCI) series better, but this one has been interesting also. I'm in the beginning stages of my teaching career and am finishing up my second student teaching internship. This book has been helpful on occassion.

From Millet to Leger: Essays in Social Art History


From Millet to Leger: Essays in Social Art History


Author: Professor Robert L. Herbert et al.
ISBN: 0300097069
Number Of Pages: 208
Languages:
Unknown: English
Original Language: English
Published: English

Product Description:
A pre-eminent scholar of nineteenth- and twentieth-century French art, Robert L. Herbert has written extensively on aspects of this subject during his long career. This book brings together some of his most important essays, works that discuss the artistic and social issues that lie behind the surfaces of notable prints and paintings by such artists as Millet, Courbet, Daubigny, Monet, Pissarro, Signac, Delaunay, Léger, and Ernst. In an introduction prepared for this volume, Herbert explains that these essays are linked by a focus on the relation of art to the urban-industrial revolution.

The first three essays explore how artists in the second half of the nineteenth century were attracted to images of rural life and landscape as a reaction to growing industrialization and urbanization, at the same time creating new techniques and pictorial devices whose radical inventions opposed the dominant forms and subjects of academic art. Four essays then address issues of overt social and political opposition among artists, demonstrating that these oppositions were in fact embraced within modernist capitalism as correctives to outmoded traditions. The concluding essays center on Léger and the period from 1910 to 1925, in which there was a sudden acceptance of industrial imagery and the creation of forms that expressed the dynamism and fragmentation of modern culture. Written in a lively and accessible style, this book will appeal to students, scholars, and lovers of French art.
