The influence of modernism was wide reaching and popular. and encompassed areas as diverse as art, advertising, photography, film, animation, fashion and architecture.
Lavishly illustrated and beautifully designed, Modern times includes contributions from more than 20 authorities on the modernist movement; examination of key figures such as Harry Seidler, Grant and Mary Featherston, Robin Boyd and Wolfgang Sievers; and more than 300 images.
This is the first time that such diverse material has been brought together in one volume.
