Introducing a novel methodology, \u003ci\u003epattern theory\u003c\/i\u003e, the book argues for a critical return to the Gestalt tradition in visual studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlongside the \u003ci\u003eUHU\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e VU\u003c\/i\u003ecase studies, \u003ci\u003eModernist Magazines\u003c\/i\u003e offers an essential primer to interwar magazine culture in Europe. Accounts of rival titles are woven into the book's thematic chapters, which trace the evolution of the two magazines' photography and graphic design in the tumultuous years up to 1933.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14636288\"\u003eTim Satterthwaite\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501387746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150138774X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHO\"\u003ePhotography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHO015000\"\u003ePhotojournalism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ANT\"\u003eAntiques \u0026amp; Collectibles\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ANT023000\"\u003eMagazines \u0026amp; Newspapers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC052000\"\u003eMedia Studies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTim Satterthwaite\u003c\/b\u003e is a Lecturer in History of Art and Design, University of Brighton, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44701662281965,"sku":"9781501387746","price":71.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_19d2b949-fe43-4168-aea8-5f55eccd3468.jpg?v=1703874504","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/modernist-magazines-and-the-social-ideal-9781501387746","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
