So today i had a tutorial for the essays we have to write for January. They are only 2500 words so not a lot of space but it should be ok, we have to compare/contrast 2 practitioners. I've chosen to look at someone from the Modernist or Post-Modernist movement (where interiors are generally white white white) with either an earlier practitioner (where everything was very colourful and ornamented) or someone very contemporary where colour is beginning to come back in to fashion in interiors.
I want to explore the social backgrounds of the times and see how this and the artistic movement to which they belong affects the look of the interior and what theories led to these attitudes.
Should be interesting!
I like the idea that an empty house with no stuff could be a sign either of poverty, or of affluence, depending on when (or where) you live.
