Description

Tastemaker Elizabeth Gordon and the Postwar American Home offers a fresh perspective on the mechanisms that influenced popular taste at mid-century. This book examines the enigmatic House Beautiful editor's crusade to reshape postwar American domestic architecture and design. By exploring the intersection of design, history, and culture, Monica Penick sheds new light on the forces that shaped America's homes in the second half of the 20th century. The result is a nuanced understanding of how taste was influenced by powerful individuals and institutions. With its unique blend of historical research and cultural analysis, this book provides a compelling insight into the world of mid-century design.
