Description
The 1946 Exhibition of Modern Design by Diane Bilbey is a visually stunning publication that celebrates one of Britain's most influential design exhibitions. Organized by the Council of Industrial Design, the exhibition was held at the Victoria & Albert Museum from September to December 1946 and attracted an astonishing 1.5 million visitors. The exhibition was a groundbreaking event that showcased British design and manufacturing, providing a much-needed morale boost during a time of austerity. The government's Post War Export Trade Committee recognized the importance of promoting Britain's manufacturing capabilities, and the Council of Industrial Design played a crucial role in organizing the event. This book offers a fascinating look at the exhibition's history, design, and impact. With its vibrant images and engaging narrative, this publication is a must-have for anyone interested in design, art, or British history.
