  • Italian Art Nouveau Architecture
    MATEC Web of Conferences 5 3, 02004 (2016) DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/201653002 04 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2016 The Liberty Style - Italian Art Nouveau Architecture Vasilii Goriunov1,a 1St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2-Krasnoarmejskaja, 4, Saint-Petersburg, 190005, Russia Abstract. This article refers the architecture of Italy of the end of the 19- the beginning of the 20 centuries. It shoes the origin of the term “Italian Liberty architecture”, its main centers, its peculiarities and the buildings of its leading representatives. The assessment of importance of such studies provide the right understanding of the processes in European architecture of this time. 1 Introduction All historians of architecture know very well that the term Art Nouveau has a lot of synonyms, accepted by researches of different countries. Most of these terms do not reflect the essence of the things and they are used conditionally. The exception is the term “ Liberty Stile” although its origin also seems accidental like the origin of the majority of its synonyms. This term came from the name of the founder of British trading company which specialized on artworks from Japan and China. This was the reason for the fact that many researchers are not quite accurately called this company one of the conductors of Japanese influence on European art. This was true as long as the company was engaged in the export of the works of art only. Soon, however the company began to cooperate with young British artists of applied art who created company s own style, which brought it European s fame.

  • The Palermo Crucible
    chapter 1 The Palermo Crucible The Piazza Marina is situated behind a row of antique palazzi facing the gulf in Palermo’s historic center. In the middle is an acre of garden called the Villa Garibaldi, which is surrounded by a handsome Art Nouveau, wrought iron fence depicting animals of the hunt. A gigantic Ficus mag- noloides tree dominates one quadrant of the garden, each enormous branch sending shoots to the ground like elephants’ trunks, creating a labyrinth of arched chambers underneath. The Piazza Marina was the center of elegance in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Palermo. Here men and women of baronial and princely pedigree gathered nightly, clothes and carriages on display, to eat jasmine petal ices and gossip (Eberstadt 1991: 48). After the unification of Italy in 1860, how- ever, the city’s northward expansion diminished the importance of this luxurious scene, creating new piazzas and boulevards as places for the elite to be seen. That the Piazza Marina was the scene of the 1909 mur- der of New York City police officer Joe Petrosino, sent to Palermo to pursue mafiosi, did nothing to enhance its reputation. Near the end of World War II, Allied bombers destroyed many of the waterfront palazzi, and by the mid-1960s the Piazza Marina was some- where to avoid, a place where you had to step over garbage, be vigilant against pickpockets and purse snatchers, and wonder whether the mag- nolia tree, abandoned to the surrounding patch of weeds, hid something sinister in its gothic roots. In a 1991 New Yorker article describing the neighborhood around the piazza, Fernanda Eberstadt vividly captured 1 2 The Palermo Crucible its degraded yet vibrant quality: “a row of bombed out buildings inhab- ited by cavernous little bodegas outfitted with altars to the Madonna and posters of local football stars; and a fishmonger’s outdoor stall, auto re- pair shops, and a stand selling semenza (lentils and seeds) served in brown paper cones.” Her hosts warned her about being robbed on the streets.

  • Timeline / 1860 to 1930 / ITALY / CITIES and URBAN SPACES
    Timeline / 1860 to 1930 / ITALY / CITIES AND URBAN SPACES Date Country Theme 1860 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces The unification of Italy leads to urban expansion outside the old city walls, which have lost their defensive value. Medieval urban buildings are often demolished in order to build monumental architecture. 1861 - 1921 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces Urban growth in Italy: Naples is the biggest city (1861: 447,000; 1921: 772,000), but population growth is higher in Rome, the “political capital city” (1871: 244,000; 1921: 692,000) and in Milan, the “industrial capital city” (1861: 96,000; 1921: 719,000). (Rounded to nearest 1,000.) 1863 - 1889 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces Construction of the 167.5 m high Mole Antonelliana in Turin, initially conceived as a synagogue. It soon becomes the city’s landmark building. 1870 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces Renewal and urban modernisation of Rome starts with the opening of a long road linking Porta Pia (where the Italian army broke into the city in 1870) to the Quirinale Palace, residence of the King (formerly a papal palace). The headquarters of some ministries are located along this road. 1882 - 1884 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces On the occasion of the 1884 General Exhibition of Turin, construction of the Rocca (castle) and the Borgo Medievale (medieval village) in Parco del Valentino (Valentino Park) in order to promote appreciation for 15th-century Piedmont architecture. In 1884, the Municipality of Turin buys part of this area, where it will later locate the Civic Museums. 1883 Italy Cities And Urban Spaces A credit-fuelled “construction fever” explodes in Rome and in the other urban centres.

Some information is duplicated on multiple pages. All of this information is available online at kirklandmuseum.org ● What is the “Architect” tag on the object labels? This blue “a” signifies that the designer of the work was also an architect. Did you know that many designers were trained as architects? Some architects designed furnishings for their buildings in order to create one unified look. In German this is called Gesamtkunstwerk, a total work of art. Currently more than 650 objects by 100 architects are on view. In total, Kirkland Museum has the design work of over 125 architects in the collection. The architects come from 25 different countries and span all of the design periods represented in the Museum, from Arts & Crafts to Modern and Postmodern. The Museum’s namesake is among the most important Colorado and regional painters of the 20th century. Kirkland created all the paintings in this gallery, as well as in his studio & art school building at the north end of the Museum. Kirkland was born in Convoy, Ohio, graduated from the Cleveland School of Art and moved to Denver in 1929 as the Founding Director of the present School of Art at the University of Denver. He also founded the Kirkland School of Art, as well as the Art Program (now the Department of Visual Arts) at the University of Colorado Denver (UCD). He painted and resided in Denver for the rest of his life.

Doulton Lambeth Art Pottery - The Early Years By Roland Head y the late 1850s, the name Doulton was synonymous with the latest and greatest Bindustrial and sanitation wares. Henry Doulton had understood the need for high quality, large-scale production of glazed, non-porous stoneware drainage pipes before anyone else, and the pipes made at Doulton's Lambeth pipe works were a core component of the sewage networks that helped modernize Victorian London. Indeed, such was Doulton’s focus and pride in his industrial ceramics business that he brusquely rejected early suggestions from Lambeth Art School master John Sparkes that he might want to expand into the field of decorative arts. Sparkes reported the rejection back to the school’s founder, Canon Robert Gregory, who is said to have replied that such an attitude was to be expected “from a Dissenter with no feeling for beauty, interested only in the arid puritan gospel of hard work and thrift, and more concerned with saving his money than his soul.” Such a judgement is perhaps a little harsh, given that Henry Doulton played a significant role in the creation of an effective sewage network for London and other cities, and in so doing helped to save future genera- tions from the appalling cholera and typhoid epidemics that regularly broke out in UK cities at that time.
