Modern Times
Goad and Macnamara
Miegunyah Press
Australian Non-fiction
Richly illustrated and beautifully designed, Modern Times reveals how modernism transformed all aspects of Australian culture across five tumultuous decades from 1917 to 1967. Fields as diverse as art, advertising, photography, film, fashion, the body, architecture, interiors, recreational sites such as the new swimming pools and fountains, milk bars and auto culture are gathered together to show how design in all these areas was changed by new ideas . Modernism embodied the utopian possibilities of the 20th century and transformed Australian cities into complex metropolises and offered access to new cosmopolitan cultures. Modern Times tells that story with stories from more than 20 authors and more than 300 images.
