The Gothic Revival was an architectural
movement which began in the 1840s in England.
In the early nineteenth century, many admirers
of neo-Gothic styles sought to revive medieval forms, in contrast
to the classical styles which were then prevalent.
The movement has had a major influence throughout the United
Kingdom as well as on the continent of Europe and in the
Americas.
The number of Gothic Revival structures built
in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries seem to exceed the number
of authentic Gothic structures that had been built previously.
Art Nouveau style created a sensation when it
exploded onto the Paris and London scenes at the turn of the
twentieth century.
Although Art Nouveau may appear harmlessly
pretty now, late Victorians found its flamboyance shocking, and
most either loved it or hated it.
It was the first truly modern design style,
making a conscious break with history and tradition and beating
down the barriers between the fine arts and the decorative
arts.
The Art Deco, a popular design movement from
1920 until 1939, was an amalgam of many different styles and
movements of the early 20th century.
It affected the decorative arts such as
architecture, interior design, and industrial design, as well as
the visual arts such as fashion, painting, the graphic arts, and
film.
With its popularity peaking during the Roaring
Twenties, this style was seen as elegant, functional, and ultra
modern.
