A Timeline of Designs’ history …according to Jessica Perkins

FINAL PROJECTJESSICA PERKINSAPPD 1130-01

Poster Art• The bold colors and

portrait of Elvis make this piece of art “visually striking”. Which brings to mind the Poster Art time period.

• I took this photo at the Hard Rock Casino in St. Petersburg, Florida.

• This piece of art was hanging above the escalator.

• Thrived between 1860-1910

• Directed by William Morris and inspired by John Ruskin

• This chair represents to me the Arts and Crafts movement.The diamond pattern on the back of the chair, the middleof the posterior being open, and the combination of leatherand wood.

• This custom work is that of in the Arts and Crafts movement.

• I found this chair in a catalog; (Best Chairs)

Arts and crafts movement

Frank Lloyd Wright• This building is the “Christenson

Humanities Building” of Florida Southern University

• I briefly saw this campus over Thanksgiving break. Beautiful campus!

• FLW did a building here “Child of the Sun”, though I was not able to see it on this trip.

• This building shows FLW’s style with the squared windows, tall pillars, and naturalistic shape. Personally, I love this design. I love the red pillars, the mass amounts of windows, and the concrete masonry.

• Location: Lakeland, Florida

• Booming from 1890-1910• Most prevalent in Europe, but its

impact was universal.• The stained glass on the ceiling

reminds me of the glass art done by Louis Comfort Tiffany in New York, or Charles Rennie Mackintoshs’ works in Glasgow.

• This is the garden-room inside the Nemicolon Resort in Uniontown, Pa.

• Extravagant resort! You would need 5 days to cover the grounds.

“New Art”Art Nouveau

MODERN ARCHITECTURE

• I know what you’re thinking…. This is just a trash can. Well.. I see it differently.

• I see this being as far away from a “Traditional style” as we are from Mars. Which in itself, describes what Modernism entailed when it was first defined.

• This trash can was on the beach in the Gulf of Mexico. I loved the square lines with just a touch of curvilinear lines and the courageous orange coloring.

• This might also remind of me FLW. But I will stay on topic…

Vienna Secession• Founded April 3, 1897

• Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, and Josef Hoffmann are just a few of the artists representing this time period.

• I took this photo of a painting in a hallway in the Nemicolon resort. I’m ashamed to say I don’t remember the artist.

• The fact that the artist has acknowledged the womans’ breasts is what makes me think Vienna Secession.

• Not to mention the gold background, which was used a lot in this time periods art.

The Weiner Werkstatte• Peaking from 1903-1932

• Contemporary European design

• So I’m not sure if I’m off base with this picture or not… I do believe these chairs have a very contemporary style. And even a unified design, being that they are all connected.

• The geometric design I believe shows the collaboration between Hoffmann an Moser.

• The Weiner Werkstatte had clear aim “Make all facets of human life into one unified work of art.”

The Bauhaus • School operated from 1919-1933 being shut down by

the Nazi Party.• 3 architect directors: Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer,

and Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe.• With this geometric style and straight lines all around I

believe this magazine rack represents an eclectic stylethat would have been created in the Bauhaus school.

• I found this magazine rack on Etsy.com. I lost a few of the pictures I had personally taken for this movement.

A r t N o u v e a u A r c h i t e c t u r e• I wasn’t able to find a

picture worthy enough for Art Nouveau Architecture.

• However, I did pick a favorite example of mine. This staircase is in the Grand Palais, aka “the Great Palace” located in Paris, France.

• Building went underway in 1897.

• The ornate hand railing and golden color with the glass pillars (you can barely see) are a good example of this time period.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh & the Gaslow school

• Towards the end of his career, between 1915 and 1923, Charles Rennie Mackintosh supplemented his dwindling income by designing fabrics.

• He used floral motifs in many of his designs.

• He also designed more abstract motifs with vibrant colors that later influenced the Art Deco period.

• I chose this tie to represent his fabrics. Mackintosh used mainly roses I believe, but also used tulips, chrysanthemums, dahlias and tobacco flowers.
