Description: Excerpt by Paul T Frankl: "RETROSPECTIVE— AND WHERE WE STAND TODAY THE world that we live in seems very young and new. In our own time we have seen the growth of industry, the birth of machinery, and the triumph of science. We have witnessed at close range a revolution in the methods of war, government, industry, merchandising, engineering, medicine and law. The past recedes into a dim distance with so dazzling a present before us. These changes are closely bound up with our daily life. They represent the modern forces from which we cannot escape and are related to our daily activities. It is not quite possible for a revolution to have taken place in music, painting, literature, architecture, science and politics, to say nothing of the industries, and leave the decorative arts untouched. It is not consistent or desirable that such a condition should exist. The decorative arts are as much a part of our present age as any of the other arts. The modern spirit, which is at present revolutionizing all the arts about us, has now broken through the last stronghold and has entered man's castle — his home." Architecture influenced Frankl's furniture design. Noted for his 'skyscraper' book shelves. Flat Surfaces. Soft Colors. Less Personal. Art Deco. MODERN. = New Dimensions!
