Modernism is a cultural movement that generally includes the progressive art and architecture, music, literature and design which emerged in the decades before 1914. It was a movement of artists and designers who rebelled against late 19th century academic and historicist traditions, and embraced the new economic, social and political aspects of the emerging modern world. - Wikipedia
It was my first visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) and I was impressed with the architecture and the large variety of collections they house.
However, my focus was on the latest modernism exhibition, which consists of a large range of objects – from architectural, interior, furniture, product to graphic, painting, film and photography. It certainly helped keep my concentration when looking at objects of different nature and use of the same theme.
As a photography enthusiast, I enjoyed looking at the architectual photos. The furniture part was interesting and some of the selected chairs such as the Marcel Brauer ones were quite familiar. The interior of the Frankfurt Kitchen was worth spending time at. I wouldn’t have minded seeing more products though.
The exhibiton will last until 23rd June at the V&A.
