Art Deco Geometric
31 July 2010
Pleasee help me with these art history question ????????
Alexander Rodchenko used simple rectangular forms on the cover of the catalogue for the Russian exhibit at the 1925 Paris Exposition. Why?
a. Simple geometric forms were the basis of Constructivism.
b. They echoed the simplicity of standardization.
c. All of these.
d. The rectangles echoed part of the interior design of the Soviet exhibit.
2 -This Dutch poster displays the style of Art Nouveau in Vienna, where it was known as
Art deco or Art Nuevo .. I Picked Art Deco ,, What do you think ?
thanks in advance
For the first one I would say “a”: Rodchenko was a constructivist. But as to the third, the Viennese brand of Art Nouveau was termed “Secessionism”: I can’t find anything to do with it being a carry-on of Art Deco or also the term “Art Nuevo” (in Spain is was Arte Joven, not even there was it Art Nuevo). Not sure on that, but I’d guess Art Deco..
I’ve done a retrospective on Art Deco, Art Nuevo and the Edwardian period if you want to compare them side by side. I’ve put a link in the resources.
