The Sources of Modern Architecture and Design (World of Art; Thames and Hudson, 1968/1986) by Nikolaus Pevsner looks at the intriguing transition period from neoclassicism to modernism.
The turn of the nineteenth century saw an extraordinary flowring of inventionin architecture and design, with two contrasting styles emerging – Art Nouveau and the International Style. Professor Pevsner brings a new clarity to an often confusing period, tracing – with the aid of nearly two hundred carefully chosen illustrations – the origins of twentieth-century ideas in architecture and the applied arts.
