The notion of domesticity - the home, the family, privacy, comfort - has often been challenged and ridiculed by modernist artists, architects and designers. Today, after more than 100 years of dispute, the domestic is being re-evaluated and returned to a position of cultural prominence, looking back over the mainstream of modernism in an effort to trace it hidden domestic subcurrents. The book investigates domesticity in modern art and architecture from the Victorian period up to the present day. Through the essays, the notion of the home is freed from stereotypes of sentimental nostalgia and emerges as an arena of modern art.

More About the Author
I am interested in the intersections of visual culture (a fancy term for art and design) with issues of gender and sexuality. One of my books, Art and Homosexuality, deals with these ideas broadly. Others deal with more specific examples. My primary focus has been the art and environments created by and for members of the Bloomsbury group, but I am also interested in topics ranging from the uses of Japanese aesthetics in the "West" to contemporary queer art and design.
