The 20th century was remarkably fertile ground for residential architecture in the US, producing such icons of modern building as the Greene brothers' Gamble House in Pasadena (1908), Eliel Saarinen's 1929 residence at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and Michael Graves' neo-classical villa in New Jersey.

Malíř, sochař, autor, filmař a všestranný bavič Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) byl jedním z největších exhibicionistů a excentriků 20. století. Jako jeden z prvních přenesl poznatky Freudovy psychoanalýzy do umění a je především oslavován za své surrealistické práce. Ikonické obrazy, jako jsou měkké hodiny nebo humrový telefon, se staly symboly surrealismu a moderny. Dalí často nazýval své obrazy „ručně malovanými snovými fotografiemi“. Jejich fascinace a vnitřní napětí vyplývají z precizního zobrazení bizarních prvků a nekonzistentních uspořádání. Dalí maloval s „imperialistickou zuřivostí preciznosti“, aby „systematizoval zmatek a tím zcela diskreditoval svět reality“. Dalí, s jeho charakteristickým zakrouceným knírem, revolucionalizoval roli umělce, když polarizoval svými veřejnými vystoupeními a vytvořil dílo, které lze konzumovat různými způsoby. Tento svazek představuje Dalího dílo a osobnost a osvětluje jeho provokativní kompozice kolem témat smrti, úpadku a erotiky.

Shaker is an illustrated exploration of the unique lifestyle of the American Shaker celibate religious communities founded in the 18th century by an English Quaker, Ann Lee. A major feature of Shaker life was the emphasis on self-sufficientcy: houses, farm buildings, furniture, tools, utensils, clothes and textiles - all were hand-made according to a craft tradition that linked form and function with godly virtues of plainess, simplicity and fitness. The beautiful objects that resulted are not only now highly valued as collector's pieces but also as sources of inspiration for contemporary design-makers.
