The Exposition Universelle of 1900 was a world's fair held in Paris, France, from 14 April to 12 November 1900, to celebrate the achievements of the past century and to accelerate development into the next. The style that was universally present in the Exposition was Art Nouveau. The fair, visited by nearly 50 million, displayed many machines, inventions, and architecture that are now nearly universally known, including the Grande Roue de Paris Ferris wheel, Russian nesting dolls, diesel engines, talking films, escalators, and the telegraphone (the first magnetic audio recorder). A collection of 59 amazing vintage photos will show you a panoramic view of the world's fair in 1900. (Photos from Robert Bonnin)

Si hace unos días hablábamos de la "Wiener Werkstätte", no podemos pasar por alto la Glasgow School, que fue un circulo de influyentes artistas modernos y diseñadores que comenzaron a trabajar en Glasgow, entre los que se encontraba Charles Rennie Mackintosh, que posiblemente sea el arquitecto y diseñador que más influyó en el nacimiento del diseño moderno. No notáis cierto aire japonés en el diseño de esta magnífica silla diseñada por Mackintosh? Hillhouse Chair - Charles Rennie Mackintosh Eso fue debido a que en aquella época, Glasgow tenía uno de los puertos comerciales más importantes de Europa. El resultado del agitado comercio fue que los barcos comenzaron a traer objetos diferentes a los productos normales. El país clave era Japón que, desde bien temprano, había entablado relaciones con Glasgow. Así pues, se habían dado cita una serie de factores que prepararon y nutrieron el terreno para aquellos artistas capaces de combinar Japón y Escocia en sus creaciones. Margaret Macdonald Charles Rennie Mackintosh El artista, su esposa Margaret Macdonald, su hermana Frances y el marido de ésta, Herbert MacNair, constituyeron sin duda alguna un equipo cuyas tendencias estilísticas se parecían enormemente y estaban emparentadas entre sí -de ahí que el director de la "Glasgow School of Art", en la que todos estudiaron, les aconsejara que formaran un grupo, al que llamaron "The Four" - Los Cuatro. Comenzaron a colaborar en proyectos que abarcan desde carteles hasta trabajos de decoración. En 1896 el grupo participa en una exposición de la Arts & Crafts Society de Lóndres, lo que propició su lanzamiento internacional gracias a las favorables críticas, a quien impresionaron, sobre todo los muebles diseñados por Mackintosh. Charles Rennie Mackintosh Margaret Macdonald & Charles Rennie Mackintosh Charles Rennie Mackintosh Charles Rennie Mackintosh Frances Macdonald & Herbert MacNair Margaret Macdonald & Charles Rennie Mackintosh Margaret Macdonald También participaron en la VIII Exposición de la Secesión vienesa en 1900, quedando los miembros que posteriormente fundarían la "Wiener Werkstätte" totalmente fascinados con sus trabajos, viéndose claramente esta influencia en cualquiera de los diseños de los Talleres de Viena, y con ella, artistas alemanes como Behrens o el arquitecto estadounidense Wright, así como en artistas del grupo holandés De Stijl.

You might have noticed I've been into Russian art this season. This week I looked at the work of yet another Russian artist, Liubov Popova, a founding member, and one of the only female constructivists of the early 20th century. I'm pretty impressed with Popova because of her range

A wonderful two color vintage Wild Goose Chase Quilt. The maker of this quilt, Elizabeth, inscribed her name on the back in ink. Elizabeth was a resident of Skaneateles, New York in the mid 19th century. A family descendent did not know what the "No. 19" meant below Elizabeth's signature. I thought possibly it could be the 19th quilt in her dowry? Or the No. 19 in the laundry rotation? The quilting design had me wondering whether it was quilted at a later date. Can you see the hearts in the muslin sashing? A heart motif is not one I've seen frequently on vintage quilts. The quality of the quilting stitch was definitely from a skilled quilter using fine stitches. Maybe the hearts do lend towards the theory of the quilt being part of a dowry. I was fortunate enough to have this quilt this past summer to clean for a family descendant of Elizabeth. The quilt was found in a storage area and had some red staining, possibly from a blanket or another quilt with unstable red dye. A contemporary reproduction of the yellow print in the antique quilt would be this print from ReproductionFabrics.com. Is this colorway making a comeback? The February 2013 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting has a two color quilt in a Churn Dash variation. While Butter Churn has a contemporary feel, the antique quilt is from the early 20th century. Since this colorway has been sporadic in popularity over time, it is nice to see some attention devoted to this happy colorway. Personally, I'm a fan of chrome orange. But then again, you're talking to someone with an orange front door, a living room painted in Pumpkin Spice (like living inside a pumpkin) and whose alma mater is the Orange.
