The pioneering modernist Gilbert Rohde was an innovative furniture
designer who attained near-celebrity status across the United States in
the 1930's and early 1940's. In her new book, "Gilbert Rohde: Modern
Design for Modern Living" (Yale University Press 3/09), decorative arts
historian Phyllis Ross presents a detailed account of Rohde's work and
life in the context of the first half of the 20th century. In a
fascinating talk, Ross positions the designer as a critical connecting
force between the early stirrings of American modernism and the
distinctively American look of the post-war era. A book signing follows
the lecture.
Ms. Ross will be signing her new book "Gilbert Rohde: Modern Design for
Modern Living" (Yale University Press, 3/09), which presents a detailed
account of Rohde's work and life in the context of the first half of the
20th century. You can purchase a copy at the lecture or order online
from Amazon.com.
