Emil Milan: Midcentury Master

Beschreibung

The work of the artist Emil Milan is showcased here along with previously unseen images and intimate anecdotes, presenting a life story that encompasses American history at its most storied, from World War 2 to the American studio craft movement. Milan's distinctive capacity to create functional wooden objects capturing the essence of mid-century modern design is introduced and contextualised comprehensively here.

Autor

Born in Portland, OR, Craig Edelbrock is a Professor and Dean at the University of Alabama. He is an amateur woodworker interested in craft history and biography, mid-century design, and the studio craft movement in America. He has served on the boards of the Wharton Esherick Museum (Paoli, PA), the Center for Art in Wood (Philadelphia), the Collectors of Wood Art, and the Kentucky Art Center (Northport, AL). Emil Milan is his "craft great grandfather" - the author's mentor was trained by a man who apprenticed with Milan. These three degrees of separation resulted in the obsession to write this book.
