1- <i>Simplicissimus</i> combined brash and politically daring content, with a bright, immediate, and surprisingly modern graphic style.<br />
<br />
2- Its most reliable targets for caricature were stiff Prussian military figures, and rigid German social and class distinctions as seen from the more relaxed, liberal atmosphere of Munich.<br /><br /><div>
3- The list of contributors in itself speaks of a modern generation of European artists, such as Rilke, Hermann Hesse, Gustav Meyrink,<span style="background-color: #e06666;"> Theodor Heine,</span> <span style="background-color: yellow;"> Frank Wedekind, </span>Heinrich Kley<span style="background-color: yellow;">, Alfred Kubin</span>, Otto Nückel, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Heinrich Mann, etc.<br />

Elbert Hubbard was a charismatic and zealous American missionary who promoted social reform through common sense, honest work and entrepreneurialism. After visiting Morris on his deathbed he started a peculiar style of production: affordable lamps, chairs, and other household objects conceived and designed in the spirit of Morris' work. The Philistine boasted a subscriber base in the hundreds of thousands. This cover reveals an Arts and Crafts influence, but the magazine celebrated a folksy attitude (rather than studied, elaborated or refined pose). </blockquote>Alfredo Triffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08640103269471118270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219465606650517961.post-46146005737104129072024-02-29T13:53:00.001-05:002024-02-29T13:53:35.501-05:00it was not until the early twentieth century that designers purposely exploited and revealed new technical capabilities<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In Britain Lucien (Camille Pissarro's eldest son) established friendly contacts with the Pre-Raphaelites and plein-air painters. In 1894 he founded the Eragny Press (the name comes from a place near Dieppe), which played a significant role in the development of European book art. In 1911 he became a co-founder of the Camden Town Group and in 1919 a co-founder of the Monarro group, which propagated Impressionism in England. </span></div>

<br />Van de Velde co-founded the <b>German Werkbund</b>, an association to help improve and promote German design by establishing close relations between industry and designers. next follows the debate between Van de Velde and Hermann Muthesius in 1914:<br />
<br />
1. van de velde called for the upholding the individuality of artists, he believed that standardization could begin an era of imitation, which in design is like destroying the embryo in the egg (he ignored that the new is fostered by in-built obsolescence). <div><br /><div>2. Muthesius called for <u>strict standardization</u> as a key to development.<div><br />who won? Muthesius. but why?</div><div><br /></div><div>Muthessius was in tune with the times. Germany was ready to embrace a full cultural/industrial standardization as stimulus of export excellence. </div><div><br /></div><div><br />

Jules Chéret (1836-1932) was a French painter and who became a master of poster art. Often called the father of the modern poster. Influenced by the scenes of frivolity depicted in the works of Jean-Honoré Fragonard and other Rococo artists such as Antoine Watteau, Chéret created vivid poster ads for the cabarets, music halls, and theaters such as the Eldorado, the Olympia, the Folies Bergères, Theatre de l'Opera and the Moulin Rouge.<br />

As his work became more popular and his large posters displaying modestly free-spirited females found a larger audience, pundits began calling him the "father of the women's liberation." <br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Victor Horta's <i>tassel</i> hotel in Brussels, 1894. this is one of the first examples of Art Nouveau. horta is obviously evoking the vital force of nature. the whiplash curves resembling vines literally overtake the house, and iron support columns are cast in the form of a stem or root that is bursting alive at the top. horta designed literally <b>every element of the interior, </b>including the window frames and stained glass, the metal radiator covers and the floral light fixtures, floor tiles and stair rails.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">frank lloyd wright's <i>Robie House </i>(1910) is just one example of the american architect's mastery of gesamtkunstwerk. wright took the concept even further than some of his peers by joining different interior elements into single pieces. in the Robie House's dining room the light fixtures are actually a part of the dining table. wright placed the sconces within the ceiling strapwork. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmNl9yN2vRv36cWVMlXoCN1tXh5IKdUG1sA6a0fig9iPvKvXCxzl9X34SBve0wG8acuXNIem6hyc98Ee0YZT6sO5rWNTZu3WB-vL0H5Cb1yhNQ2Qkijgr9tE44oEqkDPk7GIWcgkAvkphM/s1553/Barcelona_Pavillon_2016_Bildarchiv_Georg_Kolbe_Museum_Foto_Enric_Duch-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="899" data-original-width="1553" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmNl9yN2vRv36cWVMlXoCN1tXh5IKdUG1sA6a0fig9iPvKvXCxzl9X34SBve0wG8acuXNIem6hyc98Ee0YZT6sO5rWNTZu3WB-vL0H5Cb1yhNQ2Qkijgr9tE44oEqkDPk7GIWcgkAvkphM/w640-h370/Barcelona_Pavillon_2016_Bildarchiv_Georg_Kolbe_Museum_Foto_Enric_Duch-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The Barcelona Pavilion, an emblematic work of the Modern Movement, has been exhaustively studied and interpreted as well as having inspired the oeuvre of several generations of architects. It was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich as the German national pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition. Mies writes: "The design was predicated on an absolute distinction between structure and enclosure—a regular grid of cruciform steel columns interspersed by freely spaced planes". The floor plan is very simple. The entire building rests on a plinth of travertine. A southern U-shaped enclosure, also of travertine, helps form a service annex and a large water basin. The floor slabs of the pavilion project out and over the pool—once again connecting inside and out. Another U-shaped wall on the opposite side of the site also forms a smaller water basin. This is where the statue by Georg Kolbe sits. The roof plates, relatively small, are supported by the chrome-clad, cruciform columns. This gives the impression of a hovering roof. A masterpiece!<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">hill house, side view with side garden</span></div>
<br />
what do we see here?<br />
<br />
1. bare, harled, brutal exterior...<br />
2. the vast colliding masses anticipates Le Corbusier and 1960s brutalism.<br />
3. the prominent gables and conical-topped turrets, point to Baronial and vernacular design,<br />
4. the interior features ornate, organic stencilled designs and coloured glass in light fittings and balusters.<br />
5. the Hill House Chair are influenced by Japanese design.<br />
<br />
a masterpiece!<br />

This menu design for a tea room at the Glasgow Exhibition shows the evolution toward geometric and modular form. The composition of motifs, borders, and delicately defined solid volumes established a language of interlaced lines and flat shapes that works abstractly. The attention to order and arrangement of forms moves dramatically ways from the illustration, although the female face, rose, and hand hint at sensuality. The degree of abstraction of this work indicates the readiness for the repeatable modularity essential to design in an industrial context. The patterns echo the geometric system that Mackintosh used to organize his architectural elements (GDCG).</blockquote>

For instance, immediately following the 1896 opening of her Glasgow studio with her sister, she transformed broad ideas such as "Time" and "Summer" into highly stylized human forms. Many of her works incorporate muted natural tones, elongated nude human forms, and a subtle interplay between geometric and natural motifs. Above all, her designs demonstrated a type of originality that distinguished her from other artists of her time.
