Barcelona, Gustavo Gili.  245 p.
Resumen: This book examines the historical origins of design in Barcelona emerging during the modern era, the extensive period spanning 1714 to 1914. It charts the different stages of the industrial revolution exploring theory, the work of artists and artisans, the articles produced by industry and the ways in which these products were consumed. Topics covered in this volume include design and illustration in the eighteenth century; the debate between Art and Industry that arose in the nineteenth century; the influence of modernisme on creative, productive and consumer behaviour; the advent of foreing influences and their local re-interpretation; and the figure of the decorator during the Art Deco period.
