Редактор: Jim Heimann Window shopping In postwar America, everything pointed to a bright, shiny future Sheer optimism and opulence informed everything from automobile design to architecture, infusingаплбь design with larger-than-life planes and curves Storefront design of the era is particularly indicative of this phenomenon, incarnated here in an extensive collection of hand-illustrated shop window designs from 1938 to 1950 These spectacular, often grandiose plans fбаяыдor grocery stores, shoe shops, beauty salons, bakeries, and more are reminders of a time when stores were sacred shrines for the congregation of American shoppers-impressive and even slightly intimidating, just like the future itself Collected for this unique book, the designs viewed in retrospect reveal the mindset of a unique period in history In addition to an extensive selection of drawings are historical black and white photographs of actual shops built in a similar style Shopбнирш America offers a rare look at mid-century commercial America as it pictured itself Издание на немецком, французском и английском языках Формат: 27 см х 33,5 см Иллюстрации Автор Steven Heller.
