"Penick has studied Elizabeth Gordon for a decade and a half. Her book Tastemaker . . . is the most comprehensive tome to date on Gordon's life and work."-Daisy Alioto, Curbed "Gordon will get her moment in the sun, too, with Monica Penick's new book, Tastemaker (Yale University Press), which I can't put down!"-Sophie Donelson, House Beautiful "The hundreds of images are of the highest possible quality, truly representing the time and era they depict. With this unique volume, Penick (design studies, Univ.of Wisconsin, Madison) makes a significant contribution to the literature on 20th-century American design and culture."-Robert Meden, Choice Finalist for the 2018 Modernist Studies Association Book Prize "This book is extremely important and timely. The intelligence and seriousness with which it frames questions about taste and modernism will move the conversation forward. It is a game changer in both architectural history and design studies."--Alice Friedman, Wellesley College, "Penick has studied Elizabeth Gordon for a decade and a half.

With this unique volume, Penick (design studies, Univ.of Wisconsin, Madison) makes a significant contribution to the literature on 20th-century American design and culture."-Robert Meden, Choice "An important source on the postwar period and an excellent model for future architectural biographies. Penick convincingly situates and contextualizes the story of a single individual within a larger historical narrative and, in doing so, highlights the role of magazine editors as propagandists in the history of American and modern architecture and design."--Paula Lupkin, JSAH Finalist for the 2018 Modernist Studies Association Book Prize "This book is extremely important and timely.

Synopsis
A riveting and superbly illustrated account of the enigmatic House Beautiful editor's profound influence on mid-century American taste , A riveting and superbly illustrated account of the enigmatic House Beautiful editor's profound influence on mid-century American taste From 1941 to 1964, House Beautiful magazine's crusading editor-in-chief Elizabeth Gordon introduced and promoted her vision of "good design" and "better living" to an extensive middle-class American readership. Her innovative magazine-sponsored initiatives, including House Beautiful 's Pace Setter House Program and the Climate Control Project, popularized a "livable" and decidedly American version of postwar modern architecture. Gordon's devotion to what she called the American Style attracted the attention of Frank Lloyd Wright, who became her ally and collaborator. Gordon's editorial programs reshaped ideas about American living and, by extension, what consumers bought, what designers made, and what manufacturers brought to market. This incisive assessment of Gordon's influence as an editor, critic, and arbiter of domestic taste reflects more broadly on the cultures of consumption and identity in postwar America. Nearly 200 images are featured, including work by Ezra Stoller, Maynard Parker, and Julius Shulman. This important book champions an often-neglected source--the consumer magazine--as a key tool for deepening our understanding of mid-century architecture and design.

- e***u (283)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- e***n (392)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
