Reader's note

The history of the Modern Movement in architecture and design was an almost unknown field until Professor Pevsner first published his 'Pioneers' in 1936. This soon came to be recognised as the standard work on the subject and was revised and enlarged 1949 and has been again revised and partly rewritten for this excellent Pelican edition of the book. The author tells the exciting story of how the efforts of a relatively small group of men lifted our visual concepts away from stale Victorian Historicism and infused them once more with honesty, fitness of purpose and contemporary expression. Pioneers of Modern Design was a game changing book and is still a fine read for any art history enthusiast.
