A GUIUIDDE TO TYPEYPE, IMIMAGEE,, SYMBOYMBOLL, AND VISVISUAL STORYTTELELLINGING IINN THHEE MMODODERERNN WORORLD RICHARD POULIN New York, New York, October 2012: For centuries, the intimate relationship between graphic design and architecture has shaped not only cities and their structures but also the lives of their inhabitants. Graphic Design and Architecture: A 20th-Century History is the first historical overview which examines this unique marriage of graphic design and architecture in the context of artistic, social, and cultural movements and influences of the twentieth century. The built environment that we experience everyday integrates graphic design that communicates information and identity, shapes our perceptions and memories of our sense of place, and enriches and humanizes our lives. Graphic Design and Architecture: A 20th-Century History is a compre- hensive reference of visual and narrative material that illustrates and evaluates this unique history which author Richard Poulin hopes that by reflecting on it, we can derive inspiration and insight for the future. About the Author Richard Poulin is cofounder, design director, and principal of Poulin + Morris Inc., an internationally recognized, multidisciplinary design consultancy located in New York City.

Communication was also dramati- cally altered in the late nineteenth century by the introduction of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell (1847–1922) and his assistant, Thomas Watson (1854–1934). The development of the first commercially successful inter- RICHARD POULIN nal combustion engine in 1858 by Belgian engineer Étienne Lenoir (1822–1900) and improvements to the assembly line technique of mass production by American industrialist Henry Ford (1863–1947) in the early 1900s, revolutionized the manner in which people trav- eled from destination to destination, ultimately allowing them to explore every corner of the world. At the beginning of the century, there were approximately 8,000 automobiles in the United States. In 1906, President Theodore 1 “Teddy” Roosevelt (1858–1919) initiated American domestic tour- ism by encouraging Americans public to take to the road and “See America First.” Americans’ love affair with the new automobile and their desire to be mobile and explore the open road grew, and with it came the development of the country’s city, state, and federal road systems; service stations, motor courts, and motels. New and revolutionary explorations in art and architecture around the world also inevitably influenced graphic design in the STYLE AND THE MASS MARKET 1924–1947 News, 1937 During the 1920s and 1930s, freedom of expression and a prefer- New York, New York, USA ence for aesthetic appearance over functional performance be- Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988), Designer Los Angeles, California, USA came prevalent throughout most of the modern world. Two of the most predominant and popular styles in graphic design in the built environment to emerge during this time period were art deco and streamline moderne. Art deco, a direct counterpoint to its decorative and organic pre- decessor Art Nouveau, was represented in practically every facet of the applied arts, especially graphic design in the built environment, and was characterized by linear symmetry, geometry, sleek forms, and design motifs derived from Machine Age aesthetics—French decorative cubism, German Bauhaus, Italian futurism, and Rus- sian constructivism. While this lavish, ornamental style was first introduced at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts) in Paris in 1925, it remained extremely popular throughout the modern world for the next two decades. In New York City, art deco styling redefined the city’s urban skyline, as well as the modern skyscraper, with the iconic Chrysler Building (1930), the Empire State Building (1931), and Rockefeller Center (1937). In San Francisco, it became the predominant motif for the Golden Gate Bridge (1937) and in Miami Beach, Tropical 3 Deco ultimately inspired an entire city. Streamline Moderne emerged as a later development of art deco during the late 1920s and 1930s in reaction to austere eco- nomic times caused by the onset of the Great Depression in 1929. To increase sales and profit margins, more and more businesses were placing an unprecedented emphasis on “form over function” with their products. As a result, designers quickly streamlined everyday objects—from soft-drink bottles and household appliances October 2012 News Release: Richard Poulin Authors Graphic Design and Architecture: A 20th-Century History page 3 POULIN + MORRIS News Release Design Consultants Richard Poulin Authors Graphic Design and Architecture: A 20th-Century History Contact: Pamela Wong, Marketing Manager 212.675.1332, x: 110 [email protected] 1 THE IMPACT OF INVENTION 1879–1933 GEORGES CLAUDE AND LIQUID FIRE HOLLYWOODLAND GRAPHIC 1915 1923 1923 DESIGN NEON LIGHTING TUBE PATENT DRAWING PACKARD NEON SIGN HOLLYWOODLAND SIGN ARCHITECTURE Paris, France Los Angeles, California, USA Los Angeles, California, USA Georges Claude (1870–1960), Inventor Georges Claude (1870–1960), Designer Thomas Fisk Goff (1890–1984), Designer Paris, France Paris, France Los Angeles, California, USA Georges Claude (1870–1960) was a French built environment.

In order to combat the unpleasant odors emanating from open sewers, insufficiently bathed neighbors, and, from time to time, the bodies of plague victims, a variety of perfumed goods such as fans, handkerchiefs, gloves, and “sweet bags” were available for purchase. The tradition of offering embroidered sweet bags containing gifts of small scented objects, herbs, or money began in the mid-sixteenth century. Typically, they are about five inches square with a drawstring closure at the top and two to three covered drops at the bottom. Economical housewives could even create their own perfumed mixtures to put inside. A 1621 recipe “to make sweete bags with little cost” reads: Take the buttons of Roses dryed and watered with Rosewater three or foure times put them Muske powder of cloves Sinamon and a little mace mingle the roses and them together and putt them in little bags of Linnen with Powder. The present object has recently been identified as a rare surviving example of a large-format sweet bag, sometimes referred to as a “sachet.” Lined with blue silk taffeta, the verso of the central canvas section contains two flat slit pockets, opening on the long side, into which sprigs of herbs or sachets filled with perfumed powders could be slipped to scent a wardrobe or chest.

  • Guide to International Decorative Art Styles Displayed at Kirkland Museum
    1 Guide to International Decorative Art Styles Displayed at Kirkland Museum (by Hugh Grant, Founding Director and Curator, Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art) Kirkland Museum’s decorative art collection contains more than 15,000 objects which have been chosen to demonstrate the major design styles from the later 19th century into the 21st century. About 3,500 design works are on view at any one time and many have been loaned to other organizations. We are recognized as having one of the most important international modernist collections displayed in any North American museum. Many of the designers listed below—but not all—have works in the Kirkland Museum collection. Each design movement is certainly a confirmation of human ingenuity, imagination and a triumph of the positive aspects of the human spirit. Arts & Crafts, International 1860–c. 1918; American 1876–early 1920s Arts & Crafts can be seen as the first modernistic design style to break with Victorian and other fashionable styles of the time, beginning in the 1860s in England and specifically dating to the Red House of 1860 of William Morris (1834–1896). Arts & Crafts is a philosophy as much as a design style or movement, stemming from its application by William Morris and others who were influenced, to one degree or another, by the writings of John Ruskin and A. W. N. Pugin. In a reaction against the mass production of cheap, badly- designed, machine-made goods, and its demeaning treatment of workers, Morris and others championed hand- made craftsmanship with quality materials done in supportive communes—which were seen as a revival of the medieval guilds and a return to artisan workshops.
