| Summary: | This innovative book examines the changing ways in which the domestic interior has been represented in the West over the last five hundred years.<br> Looking at a rich array of depictions of the home, including paintings, novels, television, film, diaries, sketches and photographs, Imagined Interiors deals with both public and private attitudes to the domestic interior and features everything from grand decorative schemes to homely cottages.<br> Published in association with the Centre for the Study of the Domestic Interior, it takes a completely new and original look at a subject not previously covered in this depth and breadth.<br> From 1450 to the present day, the home has been a constant focus of attention for artists, designers, architects, novelists, playwrights and, most recently, television producers. Homeowners today attached increasing significance and sentiment to the way their homes are represented. Imagined Interiors will be an indispensable work of reference and visual resource for those interested in interior design, social history and material culture. |
