| Summary: | "Published in conjunction with the exhibition Found in Translation: Design in California and Mexico, 1915-1985, September 17, 2017-April 1, 2018"--Colophon "The first to explore the design and architecture that defined California and Mexico in the twentieth century, this book is arranged into four sections--Spanish Colonial Inspiration, Pre-Hispanic Revivals, Folk Art and Craft Traditions, and Modernism. Essays by leading scholars and nearly 350 illustrations highlight the roles of such renowned figures as Luis Barragán, Charles and Ray Eames, Richard Neutra, and Clara Porset as well as introduce others less known. All created objects and buildings that helped shape values and identity. Their work is placed in context: the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution, the Panama-California Exposition, the rise of the Chicano movement, and the Olympic Games in Mexico City and Los Angeles are among the many historical events between 1915 and 1985 illuminated by examining the material culture that emerged in response. The word translation originally meant "to bring or carry across." The constant migration between California and Mexico has produced cultures of great richness and complexity, while the transfers of people and materials that began with centuries-old trade routes continue to resonate in modern society, resulting in synergies that are 'found in translation.'" -- Provided by publisher The histories of Mexico and the United States have been intertwined since the 18th century, when both were colonies of European empires. America's fascination with Mexican culture emerged in the 19th century and continues to this day. In turn, Mexico looked to the U.S. as a model of modernity, its highways and high-rises emblematic of "The American Way of Life." Exploring the design movements that defined both places during the 20th century, this book is arranged into four sections- Spanish Colonial inspiration, Pre-Hispanic Revivals, Folk Art and Craft Traditions, and Modernism. Featured are essays by leading scholars and illustrations of more than 300 works by architects and designers including Richard Neutra, Luis Barraga n, Charles and Ray Eames, and Clara Porset.
