Modernism noun: mod·ern·ism
/ˈmädərnˌizəm/
The broad movement in Western art, architecture and design which self-consciously rejected the past as a model for the arts of the present.
20th Century Cincinnati is Queen City’s annual retrospective of vintage modern design: the avant-garde art, architecture, furnishings, decor and fashions that emerged between WW I and the Information Age. Fueled by new technologies, materials and popular culture, Modernist trends included Arts & Crafts, Art Deco, Machine Age, Streamline, Mid-Century Modern and Op/Pop styles. Many of these innovative designs were so far ahead of their times that they seem to have anticipated 21st-century lifestyles.
