rank Lloyd Wright, Louis Comfort
Tiffany, Herman Miller, Heywood.
Wakefield, the Stickleys, Salvador
Dali. All household names in the art
and design world, and all representative of the
Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Prairie, Arts and
Crafts, Surrealistic or Neo-Classical schools of
design.
These schools are hallmark styles within the
Modernism movement, founded by William
Morris and John Ruskin in protest against the
Industrial Revolution. The modernist 20th-
century philosophy touted "form follows func-
tion," and the designs that emerged were new,
original and modern, much more streamlined
than the previous Victorian style.
To celebrate these artists and their designs,
M&M Enterprises presents the Michigan
Modernism Exposition at the Southfield Civic
Center April 29-30. Ranked as one of the top
two Modernism events in the nation, the show
and sale features 78 exhibitors.
There are many schools of thought related
to the Modernism movement, and each is
championed by a different designer.
Historically, Gustav Stickley is known as the
father of the American Arts and Crafts move-
ment. In France, Art Nouveau was popularized,
and Charles Rennie MacIntosh led the move-
ment in Scotland.
The Art Deco style emerged after World War
I, when an era of streamlining and industrial
design arose out of economic necessity. Tubular
steel and glass were the materials of choice for
objects such as clocks, radios and toasters.
The 1939 World's Fair was a showcase for
industrial design and the works of one of its
earliest advocates, Walter Dorwin Teague.
Teague's influence can be found throughout the
