Apart
from gathering relevant visual and textual data, in this task we are also asked
to come up with producing a visual chart. In which we have to discuss five
designers from five different movements from the periods we discussed in class.
We are to explain the relationship of the movements as visually as possible
with text being kept to a minimum. Also we need to show understanding of the
cultural and social context within which the artists and designers were working
in.
For
this I am planning to show a connection between Marcel Breuer (Bauhaus), Ray
and Charles Eames (Organic Design) and Verner Panton (Pop Art Design) in
contrast with Ettore Sottsass (Memphis Group) and Richard Meier (Alessi). I
want to visually communicate the issue that the first three designers have
good, simple designs with high functionality and lack of excessive detail. In
contrast, the other two designers have angular, geometrical forms which are not
actually functional and are also bulky. In the chart this has to be shown and
understood visually without the use of words thus the use of this blog would be
to actually give details as to how I went about the whole process, my thoughts,
my findings and conclusions I reached.
I
will be discussing the inspiration and advancements of these designers from one
another as well as producing background information and who lead them on that
path as to why they did what they did. I will also be discussing how they
influenced present designers as well as to where one can find classic designs
such as the Panton Chair by Verner
Panton locally.
Let’s get started!!
