"This book tells the story of 100 years at the Royal College of Art - and of some of the best-known figures in the art and design worlds - through the artefacts and objects produced by its staff and graduates. It traces the development of every aspect of visual culture in Fine Art, Communications and Design, from the Arts and Crafts Movement to the Postmodernism of the 1990s. The sheer visual variety, and the number of influential and important names associated with the Royal College of Art, make this an exciting and invaluable sourcebook." "This is not just a story of style changes: it is an absorbing account of changing philosophies and practices, relationships with the mainstream, and the changing impact of visual culture on society at large."--BOOK JACKET.
