Résumé:
Consacrée en 1925 par la grande exposition des Arts Décoratifs à Paris, la tendance Art Déco trouve ses racines dans la simplification formelle qui se dessine dans les arts plastiques dès la fin des années 1910, au moment où s'amorce le déclin de l'Art Nouveau. De son côté, le Modernisme trouve les siennes dans le déploiement du fonctionnalisme et l'influence déterminante(...)

De son côté, le Modernisme trouve les siennes dans le déploiement du fonctionnalisme et l'influence déterminante de l'école du Bauhaus et de Le Corbusier. Relativement antagonistes à leur naissance, les deux tendances réalisent une synthèse vers 1930. Les oeuvres singulières d'Antoine Pompe, de Henry Van de Velde ou de Victor Horta (tous trois anciens de l'Art Nouveau) indiqueront des voies de recherche et de création particulièrement riches. Parallèlement, le mouvement des cités-jardins va induire une nouvelle façon de penser l'urbanisme.

Résumé:
The need to personalize our surroundings is a defining human characteristic. For some this need becomes a compulsion to transform their personal surroundings into works of art. The John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, has undertaken the mission to preserve these environments, which are presented for the first time in Sublime Spaces and Visionary Worlds. This colorful and inspiring book features the work of twenty-two vernacular artists whose locales, personal histories, and reasons for art-making vary widely but who all share a powerful connection to home-as-art environments. Featured projects range from art environments that remain intact, such as Simon Rodia’s Watts Towers in California, to sites lost over the years such as Emery Blagdon’s six hundred elaborate "Healing Machines," made of copper, aluminum, tinfoil, magnets, ribbons, farm machinery parts, painted light bulbs, beads, coffee can lids, and more. Sublime Spaces and Visionary Worlds is the first book to explore these spectacularly offbeat spaces in detail. From the "Original Rhinestone Cowboy" Loy Bowlin’s wall-to-wall glitter-and-foil living room to the concrete bestiary of the "witch of Fox Point" Mary Nohl, each artist and project is described in detail through a wealth of visuals and text. Sublime Spaces and Visionary Worlds reminds us that our decorative choices tell the world not just what we like but who we are.
