Lecture on Modernity


Mainly scanned images of my notes from this lecture

MODERNISM/MODERNITY:  it is said to be created from optimism, a response to World War 1 and follows function/rules.

Text from notes:

Modernity: industrialization, urbanisation

John Ruskin (a well known modernist)

Max Nordau Degeneration was his best work in that time.

Definitions:

Subjective experiment: experience of the individual in the modern world.
Modernism:  emerges out of the subjective responses of artists/designers to Modernity
Anti-historicism: no need to work backwards to older styles
Internationalism: a language of design that could be recognised and understood on an international basis.
