Taste A cultural history of the home interior

Taste A cultural history of the home interior

Democratic in intention and approach the book will argue that the home interior as independently created by the ‘amateur’ householder offers a continuous informal critique of shifting architectural styles (most notably with the advent of Modernism) and the design mainstream. Indeed it will suggest that the popular increasingly exerts an influence on the professional. Underpinned by academic rigour but not in thrall to it above all this book is an engaging attempt to identify the cultural drivers of aesthetic change in the home extrapolating the wider influence of ‘taste’ to a broad audience – both professional and ‘trade’. In so doing it will explore enthralling territory – money class power and influence. Illustrated with contemporary drawings and cartoons as well as photos the book will not only be an absorbing read but an enticing and attractive object in itself. | Taste A cultural history of the home interior
