FROM SMALL-SCALE HOUSEHOLD OBJECTS TO massive architectural features, decorative and functional objects effect our daily lives and reflect our societal values. By studying Dthese objects, we learn about the forms, uses, and meanings of objects, designs, and environments in everyDay life. When we explore the decorative arts anD design, we consiDer a number of factors, including the artists’ choices about subject, style, material, and function. To begin an exploration of decorative arts anD design with students, pose the following questions: What do you see? Collect visual information. What is the central subject or focus of this work? What are the surrounding details? Artists think carefully about the appearance of their designs. Consider the artist’s choice of color, size, shape, surface pattern, and texture. The artworks featured in these materials represent a wiDe range of cultures and time periods. What was it used for? Who may have used it? What are the intended uses or functions of these objects? How can we tell? What do these items imply about the time anD place in which they were created, or about the people who may have used them? By carefully examining works of art, we can also understand the historical, cultural, and geographical influences of the periods in which they were made. How was it made? What material is the artwork made of? What factors may have influenced the artists’ choice of materials? What historical events took place arounD the time this artwork was made? What technology was available at that time? Was the object mass produceD or hanDcrafteD? Many factors influence the choice of materials, incluDing cost, durability, weight, flexibility, availability, the manufacturing anD engineering processes, and the scale of production.

  • Moma More Cruel and Unusual Comedy Social Commentary in The
    MoMA Presents: More Cruel and Unusual Comedy: Social Commentary in the American Slapstick Film Part 2 October 6-14, 2010 Silent-era slapstick highlighted social, cultural, and aesthetic themes that continue to be central concerns around the world today; issues of race, gender, propriety, and economics have traditionally been among the most vital sources for rude comedy. Drawing on the Museum’s holdings of silent comedy, acquired largely in the 1970s and 1980s by former curator Eileen Bowser, Cruel and Unusual Comedy presents an otherwise little-seen body of work to contemporary audiences from an engaging perspective. The series, which first appeared in May 2009, continues with films that take aim at issues of sexual identity, substance abuse, health care, homelessness and economic disparity, and Surrealism. On October 8 at 8PM, Ms Bowser will address the connection between silent comedy and the international film archive movement, when she introduces a program of shorts that take physical comedy to extremes of dream-like invention and destruction. Audiences today will find the vulgar zest and anarchic spirit of silent slapstick has much in common with contemporary entertainment such as Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, MTV's Jackass and the current Jackass 3-D feature. A majority of the films in the series are archival rarities, often the only known surviving version, and feature lesser- remembered performers on the order of Al St. John, Lloyd Hamilton, Fay Tincher, Hank Mann, Lupino Lane, and even one, Diana Serra Cary (a.k.a. Baby Peggy), who, at 91, is the oldest living silent film star still active.

  • Mabel Normand
    Mabel Normand Also Known As: Mabel Fortescue Lived: November 9, 1892 - February 23, 1930 Worked as: co-director, comedienne, director, film actress, producer, scenario writer Worked In: United States by Simon Joyce, Jennifer Putzi Mabel Normand starred in at least one hundred and sixty-seven film shorts and twenty-three full- length features, mainly for Mack Sennett’s Keystone Film Company, and was one of the earliest silent actors to function as her own director. She was also one of the first leading performers to appear on film without a previous background in the theatre (having begun her career in modeling), to be named in the title of her films (beginning with 1912’s Mabel’s Lovers), and to have her own studio (the ill-fated Mabel Normand Feature Film Company). That her contributions to early film history are not better known is attributable in part to her involvement in the Hollywood scandals of the 1920s, and in part to our reliance on the self-interested memoirs of her better-known colleagues (especially Sennett and Charlie Chaplin) following her death at age thirty-eight. It is hard to get an accurate picture from such questionable and contradictory recollections, or from interviews with Normand herself, filtered as they often were through a sophisticated publicity operation at Keystone. Film scholars who have worked with these same sources have often proved just as discrepant and unreliable, especially in their accounts of her directorial contributions. Normand’s early career included stints at the Biograph Company, working with D. W. Griffith, and at the Vitagraph Company, yet it was her work at Keystone that solidified her image as slapstick comedienne.

Like many other players hailing from the continent, her publicity was built upon the notion of tem- peramentality and represented Goudal as a volatile and irrational woman, prone to abrupt fits of rage. This perception soon started to work against her own profes- sional interests. Her consecutive Hollywood contracts – first with Distinctive Pic- tures, then with Famous Players-Lasky – were both terminated prematurely, which resulted in Goudal suing them for a breach of contract. She promptly signed a new agreement with Cecil B. DeMille, but again ran into difficulties which found their way to the court room.
