Abstract This article analyzes the Neo-Russian style in children’s book illustrations in Russia and compares it to analogous artistic developments in England, revealing a similar evolutionary path to that of other national variants of Art Nouveau. The initial aesthetic impulse for this evolution came from the promotion of crafts and medieval handicrafts by “enlightened amateurs.” The history of children’s books, with its patently playful nature, aestheticization of primitives, and free play with quotations from the history of art, is an important episode in the history of Russian and English Art Nouveau. Starting with a consideration of the new attitude towards the “theme of childhood” as such, and a new focus on the child’s perception of the world, this article reveals why the children’s book, long treated as a marginal genre, became a fertile and universal field for artistic experimentation at the turn of the twentieth century. It then focuses on Elena Polenova’s concept of children’s book illustrations, which reflected both her enthusiasm for the British Arts and Crafts movement, and, in particular, the work of Walter Crane, and her profound knowledge of Russian crafts and folklore. The last part of the article deals with the artistic experiments of Ivan Bilibin and the similarities of his book designs to those of Walter Crane.

This article examines how decadence inflected modern architectural thought from the late eighteenth to the late twentieth century, starting with the polemical writings of the French architect Charles-François Viel, who dismissed scientific methods and engineering techniques as inferior to classical tradition. Later, decadence played a part in the Arts and Crafts critique of mechanized industrial production as well as twentieth-century condemnations of the managerial practices of late capitalism. Nevertheless, fin-de-siècle decadent culture also influenced architectural designers and theorists, exemplified by the art nouveau stylings of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the theoretical writings of Ralph Adams Cram and Geoffrey Scott. From concerns about the sources and causes of social decadence to the aesthetic influence of decadent culture, the works explored here trace interchanges between decadence and modern conceptions of architecture.

El objetivo de este trabajo es reflexionar sobre la metáfora orgánica en el campo del diseño considerando no solo su función mimética o analógica sino además su carácter representacional. La metáfora no solo es un instrumento de la poética, la imaginación y la creación sino además es una herramienta cognitiva que nos permite indagar sobre aquello que comunica y el modo en que lo hace. Para ello se tomará en cuenta el período comprendido entre 1850 y 1920 que corresponde a la aparición del Arts and Crafts y el Art Nouveau.

After 50 years of neglect, the architecture of the Amsterdam School has been rediscovered. Increasing numbers of articles and exhibitions are evidence of a growing interest in this bizarre architectural movement which flourished briefly after World War I in the Netherlands, fueled by ambitious postwar emotions and subsidized by a sympathetic local government. The sources of this architecture are wide and varied-among them, the Art Nouveau, the English Arts and Crafts Movement, Dutch vernacular architecture, and even Indonesian art-but another, crucial, inspiration was certainly the work of H. P. Berlage. The question of an older architect's influence upon the generation that follows him is a classic topic in art history and, indeed, many writers on the Amsterdam School have discussed Berlage's contribution to the formal concerns of the movement. But little attention has been given to the influence that the work of the younger architects had in turn upon that of Berlage-an intriguing example of a teacher learning from his students. In fact, it appears that between 1914 and 1920, Berlage significantly expanded the metaphysical scope of his art, as an investigation of his work from those years makes clear.

Architect and designer Henry van de Velde was born in Antwerp, Belgium, the sixth child in a middle-class family. The influence of Symbolism on his initial training as a painter, in particular the movement’s emphasis on the relationship between meaning and form, led to his eventual definition of the importance of the line as a motivating impetus in his work. This emphasis on line, combined with a growing interest in design reform, led to his career as a pre-eminent modernist, most prominently through his role as a founder of the Art Nouveau movement, and later work with the Deutscher Werkbund. Van de Velde began his professional life as a painter. He studied from 1880 until 1883 at the Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp. Through Georges Seurat, van de Velde developed his interest in the line. By 1892, nearly ten years after he had finished art school, van de Velde discovered the Arts and Crafts movement led by William Morris in England, which led the artist toward his training as an architect and designer.

Based on the works by the Kasli and Kusa iron factories from the collection of the Yekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts, this article explores provisional and established sources used as models for the production of cast iron pieces in “Oriental style”, both as standalone images and as decorative details. The article describes historical context and conditions that facilitated the popularity and appeal of the Far-Eastern artistic traditions to the Russian craftsmen, and examines examples of borrowings, feature transformations and perceptions of the “exotic” images by factory workers. Many items found in the museum collection reflect several waves of “oriental” fashion, which reached Russia from Europe. Despite the distance of Yekaterinburg from the metropolitan centres, these influences reached Ural cast iron makers relatively quickly due to the fact that commissions from Moscow and Saint-Petersburg customers constituted the major part of local production. The conclusions presented here are that these works, and their possible sources, provide an evidence of a close connection between the regional Ural arts and crafts and European artistic process. Keywords: chinoiserie, Japonisme, Art Nouveau, Ural artistic cast iron, Kasli cast iron, Kusa cast iron cross-cultural communication, Yekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts

No início do século XX, o design de interiores resultava do trabalho desenvolvido por arquitectos, decoradores, pintores ou entalhadores. Embora então integrado no universo das artes decorativas, acreditamos que já existia como prática profissional regulada por uma rede coerente de princípios de concepção e pelo entendimento do espaço interior como teia global de relações que se estabelece entre planos, ornamento, iluminação e mobiliário. No final do século anterior, perante a necessidade de proceder a uma reforma do ensino industrial, o governo português abrira um concurso para contratação de professores estrangeiros. Evidenciamos o papel de Ernesto Korrodi (1870-1944). As suas obras decorrem de uma atitude paradoxalmente ecléctica e moderna, apoiando-se por um lado, numa reinterpretação de soluções referenciadas no período medieval ou na Renascença; por outro, em fórmulas sediadas nos movimentos Arts and Crafts, Arte Nova (Art Nouveau) ou Secessão. Nos seus projectos persistem determinadas dependências e hierarquias, mas estas se cruzam com as necessidades despertadas pelas inovações técnicas, o que faz com que se preocupe também com a resposta à eclosão de novas funções e mobiliário na casa, a par das exigências higienistas do momento. O presente artigo consiste na análise da casa da família Bouhon, localizada na cidade da Covilhã, Portugal. Se a Arte Nova marca as suas fachadas, no interior deparamo-nos com espaços mais depurados, marcados por apontamentos decorativos, incorporados na azulejaria e nos tectos estucados ou em caixotões. O ornamento contribui, deste modo, para a dignificação dos planos das paredes, lambris e tectos, assumindo um papel fundamental na composição espacial.

Teamwork involves different types of interactions—specifically cooperation andcollaboration—that are necessary in education and many other professions. The differencesbetween cooperation and collaboration underline the teacher’s role in influencing groupdynamics, which represent both a foundation for professional design education and aprequalification for students’ competences as teachers and for critical evaluation. As a testcase, we focused on the Working Together action-research project in design education forspecialised teacher training in design, arts, and crafts at the Oslo Metropolitan University,which included three student groups in the material areas of drawing, ceramics, and textiles.The project developed the participants’ patience, manual skills, creativity, and abilities,which are important personal qualities for design education and innovation and representcornerstones in almost every design literacy and business environment. The hope is thatstudents will transform these competences to teaching pupils of all ages in their futurecareers.
