Protomodernism (1897-1959)
Gustav Klimt studied at the Vienna school of arts and crafts while in poverty. He loved art and was a major painter of the 20th century. He was influenced by Signmund Freud and focused on themes of sexuality. He was also inspired by Japanese design and was highly decorative. He was known for the use of gold leaf.
Otto Wagner studied at the Viennese Polytechnic Institute and was another famous designer during this period. He created a book called "Modern Architecture". His style was one of the first industrial style. He liked to show the construction of things in the way it looked. We looked at workable, durable, and economic materials. His color palette was very neutral. His most famous work was the Postal savings bank in Vienna.
Koloman Moser also studied in Vienna. His furniture was geometric, fun, colorful, and had many textiles. You could tell that the art movement was coming after this with his design styles.
De Stijl means "the style" in Dutch. This movement began in the Netherlands in 1917. This focused on the elementary shapes, colors and flay surfaces. This also focused on the vertical and horizontal line. The most influential Dutch designer of the 80th century was Gerrit Rietveld. What made him unique was that he was self taught. He only used the primary colors for his color scheme and his style was industrial. The Schroder house was build in Utrecht, Netherlands 1924. It was a flexible floor plan that brought the inside and outside together.
Frank Lloyd Wright was an early contributor to American Modernism. He wanted to define the mid-west style. His main focus was residential houses. He was inspired by nature and he really looked at window placement. His color palette was drawn from indigenous plants from the mid-west.
