Le brutalisme est un style architectural issu du mouvement moderne, qui connaît une grande popularité des années 1950 aux années 1970 avant de décliner peu à peu, bien que divers architectes s'inspirent encore des principes de ce courant. Il se distingue notamment par la répétition de certains éléments comme les fenêtres, et par l'absence d'ornements et le caractère brut du béton.

Les premiers exemples d'architecture brutaliste sont inspirés des travaux de l'architecte franco-suisse Le Corbusier, notamment de la villa Savoye (1931) et de la Cité radieuse (1952). Parallèle au mouvement artistique du pop art, le brutalisme s'exprime notamment à travers la réalisation de bâtiments institutionnels et d'universités au Royaume-Uni, en France, en Europe de l'Est et aux États-Unis. Généralement de dimensions imposantes, ces édifices mettent en avant leur verticalité et la rudesse du béton, constituant une réaction aux courants architecturaux antérieurs (le style Beaux-Arts notamment), marqués par davantage de frivolité.

Le terme de brutalisme a parfois servi à désigner de manière générale les édifices massifs en béton, devenus impopulaires à la fin du XXe siècle. Les principaux représentants de ce courant sont Marcel Breuer, Ernő Goldfinger, Jacques Kalisz, Bertrand Goldberg et Fernand Boukobza.

A few other ‘Isms’ not to be left unmentioned - An ‘Ism’ Overview - Perspectives Comparing And contrasting art movements

The significance of Prehistoric Art, Medieval Art, Neoclassicism, Bauhaus, Kinetic Art, Digital Art, Installation Art, Digital Circles, and Lowbrow Art, in the evolution of art cannot be overstated. These movements and styles, spanning from the ancient to the contemporary, have all made important contributions to the development of art, each in their unique ways.

Let us begin with prehistoric art. Although the earliest examples of human artistic expression date back over 40,000 years, prehistoric art has often been dismissed as primitive or unsophisticated. However, I argue that these works represent some of the most powerful and enduring expressions of human creativity. From the intricate cave paintings at Lascaux and Altamira to the iconic Venus figurines, prehistoric art speaks to the fundamental human desire to create, to communicate, and to explore our world. By studying these works, we gain insight into the early development of human culture and consciousness, and we gain a deeper appreciation for the universality of the creative impulse.

Medieval art, which spanned from the 5th to the 15th century, was heavily influenced by Christianity and often depicted religious subjects in a stylized and symbolic way. Medieval art also drew on classical Greek and Roman styles, and was characterized by bright colours, gold leaf, and intricate patterns. Examples of medieval art include the Book of Kells (c. 800) and the Bayeux Tapestry (c. 1070).

Neoclassicism emerged in the mid-18th century as a reaction against the ornate and frivolous Rococo style that dominated European art. Neoclassical artists looked to the art of ancient Greece and Rome for inspiration, seeking to capture the ideals of rationality, balance, and order that were associated with classical art. Neoclassicism reached its peak in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, with artists such as Jacques-Louis David, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, and Antonio Canova creating works that exemplified the style's emphasis on classical subject matter and classical forms. David's "The Death of Marat" (1793) and Ingres' "La Grande Odalisque" (1814) are two examples of Neoclassical works that continue to be celebrated for their technical mastery and emotional impact.

The Bauhaus was a German art and design school that was active from 1919 to 1933. Founded by Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus was dedicated to the idea of merging art and technology, with the goal of creating functional, modern designs that could be mass-produced. The Bauhaus attracted some of the most innovative artists and designers of the early 20th century, including Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and Marcel Breuer. These artists experimented with new materials and techniques, creating furniture, textiles, and buildings that were characterized by their sleek, geometric forms and minimal ornamentation. The Bauhaus's legacy can be seen in the many modernist designs that continue to influence contemporary architecture and design.

Kinetic art emerged in the 1950s and 60s as a response to the growing interest in science and technology. Kinetic artists sought to create works that would move or change in response to the viewer's actions or the environment in which they were placed. Artists such as Alexander Calder, Jean Tinguely, and George Rickey created sculptures that moved in response to the wind or other external forces, while others, such as Nam June Paik and Bill Viola, incorporated technology such as video and sound into their works. Kinetic art challenged traditional notions of sculpture as static and unchanging, and continues to be an important influence on contemporary sculpture and installation art.

Installation art emerged in the 1960s as a response to the increasing commercialization of art and the growing emphasis on the art object as a commodity. Installation artists sought to create immersive, site-specific experiences that would challenge the viewer's perceptions of space, time, and reality. Artists such as Claes Oldenburg, Robert Irwin, and Dan Flavin created works that transformed entire rooms or environments, using light, sound, and other sensory stimuli to create a fully immersive experience. Installation art continues to be a popular form of contemporary art, with artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Yayoi Kusama, and Ai Weiwei pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the medium.

Let’s rest for a longer moment to unpack the explosive significance of this next art movement. As a champion of high modernism and a staunch defender of the avant-garde, I must admit that the rise of Lowbrow Art has taken me somewhat by surprise. For years, I believed that the only meaningful art was that which challenged the viewer and pushed the boundaries of aesthetic experience. However, the emergence of Lowbrow Art in the late 20th century has forced me to reconsider my assumptions and to recognize the value of a different kind of artistic expression.

Lowbrow Art, also known as pop surrealism or underground art, has its roots in the countercultural movements of the 1960s and 1970s. It emerged as a reaction against the hegemony of the mainstream art world, which was dominated by the formalist and minimalist tendencies of high modernism. Lowbrow artists rejected the elitism and austerity of modernism, and instead embraced a wide range of popular cultural forms, from comic books and sci-fi movies to street art and tattooing.

One of the earliest pioneers of Lowbrow Art was the American artist Robert Williams. In the late 1960s, Williams began creating vivid and often provocative paintings that combined elements of pop culture with traditional techniques of oil painting. His work was characterized by its irreverent humor, graphic violence, and sexual imagery, and it quickly gained a following among underground artists and collectors. Other key figures in the development of Lowbrow Art include Mark Ryden, Todd Schorr, and Camille Rose Garcia, all of whom have continued to push the boundaries of the genre in recent years.

One of the most significant aspects of Lowbrow Art is its engagement with popular culture and its ability to tap into the zeitgeist of contemporary society. Whereas high modernism sought to transcend the constraints of mass culture, Lowbrow Art celebrates and critiques it, using its imagery and iconography as a means of exploring broader cultural issues. This is evident in the work of artists like Ron English, whose subversive billboard campaigns have commented on everything from fast food to the Iraq War, and Shepard Fairey, whose iconic "Hope" poster for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign became an instant cultural phenomenon.

Another important aspect of Lowbrow Art is its technical virtuosity and attention to detail. Although it often draws on the conventions of popular culture, Lowbrow Art is also deeply rooted in the traditions of fine art, and many of its practitioners are highly skilled in traditional techniques such as painting, drawing, and printmaking. This can be seen in the work of artists like Audrey Kawasaki, whose ethereal, dreamlike paintings combine elements of Japanese anime with the delicacy and precision of traditional Japanese art, and James Jean, whose intricate and highly detailed illustrations have earned him comparisons to the Old Masters.

Of course, as with any artistic movement, there are those who dismiss Lowbrow Art as mere kitsch or commercialism. However, I would argue that this misses the point of what makes the genre so compelling. Lowbrow Art is not simply a celebration of popular culture, nor is it a wholesale rejection of traditional art forms. Rather, it represents a new kind of artistic synthesis, one that draws on a wide range of influences and traditions to create something entirely new and innovative.

In my final analysis, then, Lowbrow Art represents an important and valuable contribution to the world of contemporary art. It is an art that is unafraid to challenge the status quo and to embrace the full range of human experience, from the sublime to the grotesque. And while it may not be to everyone's taste, it is an art that demands to be taken seriously and that deserves to be celebrated for its technical skill, cultural relevance, and sheer audacity.

Moving forward in time, we come to the realm of digital art. Unlike prehistoric art, which was created using natural materials and simple tools, digital art relies on sophisticated technologies and computer software. Since the advent of digital art in the 1960s, artists have been using computers to create new forms of visual expression, from pixelated landscapes to immersive virtual environments. Digital art allows artists to explore new aesthetic possibilities, to push the boundaries of traditional media, and to engage with the complex relationship between technology and culture.

Within the realm of digital art, we find the emergence of digital circles - groups of artists and designers who collaborate and share their work online. These communities allow for the rapid dissemination of new techniques, ideas, and styles, and they encourage a spirit of experimentation and innovation. Some notable examples of digital circles include the net.art movement of the 1990s, the Glitch Art movement of the 2000s, and the current wave of NFT artists.

The History and Evolution of Children's Furniture Design

Children's furniture design has a fascinating history that stretches back centuries, evolving with changing societal norms, technological advancements, and a deeper understanding of child development. Let's embark on a journey through time to explore how kids furniture Delhi has transformed from basic, utilitarian pieces to the colorful, ergonomic designs we see today.

Ancient Times: Practical Beginnings

In ancient civilizations, children's furniture was nearly non-existent. Children were often treated as small adults and used the same furniture as their elders. However, in wealthy families, smaller versions of adult furniture were sometimes crafted. These pieces, much like the furniture for kids in Delhi, were often plain and functional, designed more for necessity than comfort.

Middle Ages to Renaissance: Miniature Versions

During the Middle Ages, the concept of childhood began to change. Children were still seen as little adults, but there was a growing recognition of their need for learning and play. Furniture for children started to emerge, often as scaled-down versions of adult furniture. High-backed chairs, stools, and simple beds were common. These pieces, while still utilitarian, were sometimes decorated with intricate carvings, reflecting the craftsmanship of the era.

18th and 19th Centuries: Education and Play

The Enlightenment brought significant changes in attitudes toward children and education. The philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau emphasized the importance of childhood as a unique stage of development. This shift in thinking influenced furniture design, leading to the creation of pieces specifically for children's education and play.

The 19th century saw the rise of the kindergarten movement, pioneered by Friedrich Froebel. This movement highlighted the importance of play in learning, leading to the design of furniture that was both functional and engaging, such as the study table for kids in Delhi. Small tables and chairs, toy chests, and other playful furniture pieces became more common. The designs were simple and often made of wood, focusing on durability and ease of use.

Early 20th Century: Functionalism and Safety

The early 20th century marked a significant shift towards functionalism and safety in children's furniture design. Influenced by the Bauhaus movement, designers like Marcel Breuer began to create furniture that was not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. This era saw the introduction of materials like bent plywood and tubular steel, which allowed for more innovative and ergonomic designs.

Safety became a paramount concern as well. Rounded edges, non-toxic paints, and sturdy construction were emphasized to protect children from harm. The concept of adjustable furniture also emerged, allowing pieces to grow with the child, extending their usability. Kids Furniture Store in Delhi began to adopt these modern designs, reflecting the global trends and ensuring that children had access to safe, functional, and stylish furniture.

Mid-20th Century: Modernism and Imagination

The post-World War II era brought a burst of creativity and innovation in children's furniture design. Influenced by modernist principles, designers like Charles and Ray Eames introduced colorful, imaginative pieces that catered to children's love for play and exploration. The iconic Eames Elephant, originally designed in the 1940s, is a perfect example of this playful yet functional approach.

Plastic became a popular material due to its versatility and ease of cleaning. Brightly colored plastic chairs, tables, and storage units became staples in many households. These designs were not only fun but also practical, reflecting the growing emphasis on child-centered design.

Late 20th Century to Present: Ergonomics and Customization

In the late 20th century, advancements in ergonomics and a deeper understanding of child development led to even more refined designs. Furniture began to be tailored to support children's physical and cognitive growth. Adjustable desks and chairs became standard, promoting good posture and comfort during study and play.

Today, customization is a key trend in children's furniture design. Parents and children can choose from a wide array of designs, colors, and materials to suit their preferences and needs. Modular furniture, which can be reconfigured as the child grows, is increasingly popular. Sustainable and eco-friendly materials are also in demand, reflecting a broader societal shift towards environmental consciousness.

The Future: Smart Furniture and Beyond

Looking ahead, the future of children's furniture design is likely to be influenced by technology and sustainability. Smart furniture, equipped with features like adjustable heights, built-in charging ports, and interactive elements, is on the horizon. These innovations aim to create multifunctional spaces that adapt to the changing needs of children.

Sustainability will continue to play a crucial role. Designers are exploring ways to create durable, long-lasting furniture from recycled and eco-friendly materials. The goal is to reduce waste and create pieces that can be passed down through generations.

Conclusion

The evolution of children's furniture design reflects broader changes in society's attitudes toward childhood, education, and safety. From the practical, scaled-down versions of adult furniture in ancient times to the colorful, ergonomic designs of today, children's furniture has come a long way. In places like Delhi, where cultural influences play a significant role, the evolution also includes unique styles tailored to local tastes, such as kids bedroom furniture in Delhi. As we look to the future, the focus will likely remain on creating innovative, sustainable, and adaptable designs that support the well-being and growth of children.

This journey through the history of children's furniture design not only highlights the creativity and ingenuity of designers but also underscores the importance of creating spaces that nurture and inspire the youngest members of our society.

Bases teóricas de la psicología

En esta ocasión subiré un breve resumen de las bases teóricas de la psicología, dentro de las cuáles de incluye al psicoanálisis, la psicología conductual, la psicología humanista y a la psicología existencialista.

El psicoanálisis es un modelo teórico que se encarga del estudio del inconsciente, de sus sentimientos, actitudes y conducta; por medio de la descripción y explicación de los mecanismos, procesos y fenómenos, en dónde busca los miedos, traumas y acciones que se relacionan con lo mostrado en el presente. El psicoanálisis comienza a finales de la década de 1980 y sus principales exponentes fueron: Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein, Anna Freud, Carl Jung, Jacques Lacan, Donald Winnicott, Alfred Adler y Joseph Breuer.

La psicología conductual estudia a la conducta humana como tal, estudia cómo ésta se desarrolla y la forma de modificarla o anticiparla. Ivan Pavlov es el principal exponente del condicionamiento clásico ruso, él descubrió la relación de la psicología del aprendizaje con un condicionamiento a partir de la asociación de un estímulo con una respuesta y se llegó a la conclusión de que: "Las conductas reflejas, no dependen de la voluntad". La psicología conductual inicia aproximadamente en 1913 y sus principales exponentes fueron: Wilhem Wundt, Ivan Pavlov, John Bradus Watson, Edward Lee Thorndike y Burrhus Frederic Skinner.

La psicología humanista está relacionada a las necesidades de las personas con la realización personal, en donde entra la motivación y la superación del ser humano. Se llegó a la idea de que: "Entre más necesidades tenga, mayor será su motivación", entonces la idea del ser humano fue desde una perspectiva optimista, creativa e interesada en autorrealización. La psicología humanista surge entre 1960-1970 y sus principales representantes fueron: Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, Victor Frankl y Fritz Perls.

Y por último, la psicología existencialista, surgió en el siglo XX, en dónde su principal objeto de estudio fue la existencia humana y su relación con el entorno, tanto físico, social, personal o mental, en esta teoría también se abordan los dilemas entre el ser y no ser, más que nada, se enfoca más en bases filosóficas que técnicas.

En conclusión la corriente que más me gustó fue la psicología humanista, ya que considero que va buscando que las personas vean su valor y traten de pulirlo, además de que sirve para trabajar en circunstancias de amor propio, ayudando a mejorar la autoestima y la aceptación personal, incluyendo la teoría de que todos somos capaces de lograr todos nuestros objetivos. De igual forma, también me identifico con esta corriente, ya que de vez en cuando me pongo a analizar mis ideas y las metas que quiero alcanzar para así poder seguir adelante si me llego a sentir estancada o sin ganas de seguir, ver hacía mi futuro me promueve esforzarme un poco más.

LGBT literature of the 1860s–1910s. Part 4

Well, it’s been a while. Here’s a new selection featuring three stories about love between students, lesbian poems, a comedy centered around a gay character, Proust's short story, and more

1. Bertram Cope’s Year, by Henry Blake Fuller (1919). Although this novel went unnoticed by its contemporaries, it is thought to be the first officially published American novel about homosexual men. It could be your perfect academia novel: Bertram, “no squire of dames”, is a self-conscious English teaching assistant at an Illinois university where he completes his thesis and tries to settle in life. Four women and three men are attracted to him, but Bertram is fond of “Dear Arthur”, his college friend Arthur Lemoyne who comes to live with him later. Interestingly, the story has a touch of comic and ironic, which was very rare for homosexual literature of that time. [Read online]

2. Le Monsieur Aux Chrysanthèmes (The Gentleman of Chrysanthemums), by Armory (Carle Dauriac; 1908). This is the first modern play (and a society comedy at that) that has a gay man as its main character. The character is Gill Norvège, a critic and writer, who uses a young widow Marthe Bourdon to get money. Marthe is hopelessly in love with Gill and borrows 30,000 francs from a poet Jacques Romagne, who, in turn, is hopelessly in love with Marthe. And then Gill sees Jacques one day and falls in love with him. [Read online in French or in English]

3. The Garden God: A Tale of Two Boys, by Forrest Reid (1905). Called “a classic of Uranian literature”, this story has it all: homoerotism, platonism, ancient gods and love at boarding school. In that school a fifteen years old Graham, who used to dream of friendship with a Greek god, meets Harold who looks exactly like that imaginary friend. But where there are gods there is also tragedy, so be prepared. [Read online]

4. Poems by Sofia Parnok. Parnok was the first open lesbian in Russian literature. She was in a relationship with another famous Russian poet, Marina Tsvetaeva, as well as with some other women to whom she dedicated a number of poems. Often called the Russian Sappho, she often refers to Sappho in her poetry and also used her famous phrase, “Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us”. Some of Parnok’s poems are translated and more is available in Russian.

5. Teleny, or The Reverse of the Medal (1893). Not the first, but one of the earliest examples of English-language homosexual erotic novels (though rather sophisticated), its author is unknown, but some believe that it was written by Oscar Wilde. Here we have a tragedy again, a tragic love between a Frenchman and a Hungarian pianist, to be exact. There’s also something literally queer going on, because the Frenchman, Des Grieux, has a telepathic connection with the attractive pianist, Teleny. Eventually they meet, and Teleny introduces Des Grieux to the underground homosexual world of Paris. Bonus: the novel has a comic adaptation, Teleny and Camille, by Jay Macy, and also a “prequel”, Des Grieux, written in 1899. [Read online]

6. Anders als die Andern (Different from the Others), by Bill Forster (Hermann Breuer; 1904). The title is supposedly derived from a phrase that was popular among German gay men of that time, “We are, thank god, other than other people”. Herbert, the protagonist, falls in love with Ernst, the boy from his school. They go hiking together, and for some time they are close. But Ernst, although flattered by Herbert’s attention and feelings, rejects him twice, and it destroys Herbert’s life.

7. Avant la nuit (Before dark)by Marcel Proust (1893). A forgotten short story by Proust, written when he was only 22, despite what you might expect, tells about a lesbian woman. She is incredibly unhappy: she is in a relationship with a man, but wants to confess her true sexuality and suffers from her own dishonesty. Finally, she tells him the truth and asks for his compassion. In a way, this story defends homosexuality and explains why it cannot be condemned. [Read online]

8. The Prussian Officer, by D. H. Lawrence (1914). Praised as a masterpiece of short fiction by some critics, this story is rather grim. A captain slowly becomes attracted to his young, simple orderly. However, he represses his feelings and, instead of showing any kind of affection, turns aggressive and humiliates the young man. And it is not going to end well. [Read online]

9. Quelques Portraits-Sonnets de Femmes (Some Portrait-Sonnets of Women), by Natalie Clifford Barney (1900). One of the most famous lesbian poets of the 20th century, Barney wrote a chapbook of love poems to women that were so scandalous her father bought up all remaining copies and burned them. Two novels based on or about women’s affairs with Barney were also featured in previous chapters of this list. The book is not available online, but some poems can be found in English here and here.

10. The Intersexes: A History of Similisexualism as a Problem in Social Life, by Edward Prime-Stevenson (1906). Prime-Stevenson didn’t just write the first novel about gay men with a happy ending (featured in the previous part of the list), but also an interesting study, one of the earliest ones. Using science and history, he defenses homosexuality, which is why he is considered to be one of the first advocates for the rights of the LGBTQ community. A very progressive work for his time, it rejects the binary of masculine and feminine and insists that homosexuality is a natural result of human evolution. [Read online]

ICONIC DESIGN

 I offer you selection of my favourite design pieces created during the 20th century that are considered icons of modern era at the same time. They are not only a part of the permanent collections of world´s the most leading design and decorative art museums but thanks to their timeless appearance they are still the best ingredient of many high-end modern interiors. 

And maybe this list may seems as cliché I try to bring to you a context that proves the most of the best designs were revolutionary, visionary and innovative at that times and pushed the boundaries not only for design and furniture industry but for everyday simple life. 

And that´s what matters. 

Pavli

1.  Vitra - Eames House Bird, around 1910     ♥ / ♥ / ♥

The bird was originally carved by Charles Perdew around 1910 as a bird decoy for hunters and became popular in the 1950s, primarily for its minimal shape and dark color. It was popularized by Charles and Ray Eames, who acquired one on their travels in the Appalachian mountains and soon can be seen in many of their product photo-shoots.    

2. Arne E. Jacobsen - Ant chair, 1952

3. Pierre Jeanneret - Office chair for Chandigarh, 1955-1956

4. Charles and Ray Eames - Rocking Armchair Rod (RAR), 1948

Large family of Plastic chairs are the most well-known designs by Eames. Designer couple won second prize with them in the 'International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design', organised by the New York Museum of Modern Art. They used a fiberglass, a material that was entirely new to the furniture industry and at that time reserved for the US Army.

5. Charles and Ray Eames - Dining Armchair Rod (DAR), 1948

6. Charles and Ray Eames - Lounge Chair and Ottoman, 1956 

7. Charles and Ray Eames - Dining Armchair Wood (DAW), 1948 

And also another type of Plastic chair - Dining Side Wood (DSW), 1948. 

8.  Warren Platner - Platner Arm Chair, 1966

Not limiting itself to architecture, Warren Platner also experimented in furniture design. In the 1960s, as the modernist movement became more expressive, Platner focused on a quieter aesthetic, wishing to create more graceful structures.
