Real modern : everyday New Zealand in the 1950s and 1960s
Zusammenfassung: The decades of the 1950s and 60s continue to exert a powerful fascination, and in New Zealand, these postwar years have been remembered in popular culture as a golden age. But what was life really like? Real Modern tells a vibrant and varied story of this compelling era through images and, above all, objects--the things that New Zealanders acquired and desired, that they used at school, work, or play, and that they wore and saw from the country to the suburbs to the city. In hundreds of gorgeous new photographs from the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and collections nationwide, readers will encounter not only much-loved vintage and retro memorabilia and mid-century design classics, but also ordinary, surprising, and unique objects. Each is accompanied by lively, expert, and informative descriptive text that links these pieces to the people who owned and used them, and to New Zealand's wider social, political, and cultural history
Zusammenfassung: "The decades of the 1950s and '60s continue to exert a powerful fascination, as seen in the lasting popularity of Mad Men, Crown Lynn collectibles and mid-century design. In New Zealand, these years have been remembered in popular culture as a 'golden age' of God, Queen and Country, full employment, the baby boom, Sir Edmund Hillary and 'Ladies, a plate!' - as well as the birth of the teenager and the seedbed of later change. But what was life really like? Real modern tells a vibrant and varied story of real life in this compelling era through images and, above all, objects. It is a rich compendium of the things that New Zealanders acquired and desired, that they used at school, work or play, and that they wore and saw around the country"--Jacket
