Hine, Populuxe Look Life America in 50s- 60s, illustrat

Item Details

Description

"Populuxe The look & Life of America in the 50s & 60s, from tailfins & TV Dinners to Barbie Dolls & Fallout Shelters" by Thomas Hine, published by New York MJF Books, Fine Creative Media Inc., 1999. First Printing with '1' present in the number line on the copyright.

A new Preface dated 1999, otherwise a reproduction of the Knopf's 1986 edition: hard boards; coral cloth with shiny metallic turquoise lettering on spine; 1950s style decorated endpapers, the same book design and colorful illustrations.

The decade from 1954 to 1964 was one of America's great shopping sprees: never before were so many people able to acquire so many things, and never before was there such a choice! Thomas Hine calls it "Populuxe"--Populism and popularity and luxury, plus a totally unnecessary "e" to give it a little class; the word itself is as synthetic as the world it denotes.

By examining the remarkable objects of this time and the life they represent, Hine takes us on an instructive, entertaining 'time-machine' tour of this rather peculiar Golden Age. These were the years when the United States was virtually unchallenged as a world power, the economy was booming, and the country reveled in a kind of innocent hedonism. it was also the Atomic Age: a 1954 ad compared the Bomb's brilliant glow to the gleam of a freshly waxed kitchen floor. This was essence of Populuxe. With the help of more than 250 amazing and amusing pictures in black and white and color (and what colors!), Thomas Hine explores, recaptures, and explains this glorious vanished world of hopes and dreams and cock-eyed optimism. His book is both a celebration of a singular (and slightly bizarre) aesthetic and a revelation of America's not-so-distant past.
