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.
