9 Who and what movement?

10 Art Nouveau (French for 'new art'), also known as Jugendstil (German for 'young style'), was an international movement and style of art, architecture and applied art that peaked in popularity at the turn of the 20th century (1890–1905). To many Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts are synonymous, but Art Nouveau was a particular manifestation with characteristic organic forms. It became more widely spread in Europe. A reaction to art of the 19th century, it is characterized by organic, especially floral and other plant-inspired motifs, as well as highly-stylized, flowing curvilinear forms.

12 Modernism Embracing change and the present, modernism encompasses the works of thinkers who rebelled against nineteenth century historicist traditions, they directly confronted the conditions of an emerging fully industrialized world. Forms rejected previous ornament and used relatively geometric forms. It is frequently associated with a relatively industrial style (Bauhaus 1919-1933) though it had little in common with previously mass manufactured designs.

17 Art Deco Art Deco was a popular international design movement from 1925 until 1939. The structure of Art Deco is based on repeated mathematical geometric shapes. It was widely considered to be an eclectic form of elegant and stylish modernism, being influenced by a variety of sources. Among them were the so-called "primitive" arts of Africa, Ancient Egypt, and Aztec Mexico. It also drew on machine-age or streamline technology, such as modern aviation, electric lighting, the radio, the ocean liner and the skyscraper for inspiration

27 Pop Art Pop Art, like pop music, aimed to counteract elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy. Started in 1950’s and didn’t really end? Often heavily features plastic and industrial/mass manufacture. Günter Beier Verner Panton

29 1970’s By the turn of the 1970s, the hippy idyll was over. The mood darkened with the brutality of the Vietnam War, the violence in Northern Ireland, the corruption of Watergate, strikes, go-slows, rising unemployment and spiralling inflation. Design darkened too (and became beige!) 70s design is like a squared off pop art.

30 1970’s, later This happened: …a reaction Vivienne Westwood

31 In 1980 Ettore Sottsass, one of Italy’s architectural grandees, met with a group of younger architects in his apartment on Milan’s Via San Galdino. He was in his 60s and his collaborators - Martine Bedin, Aldo Cibic, Michele De Lucchi, Matteo Thun and Marco Zanini – were in their 20s. The project was christened Memphis after the Bob Dylan lyric "Stuck Inside of Mobile (With the Memphis Blues Again)”. There was no set formula. "No-one mentioned forms, colours, styles, decorations,”. That was the point. After decades of modernist doctrine, Sottsass and his collaborators longed to be liberated from the tyranny of smart, but soulless ‘good taste’ in design. Memphis
