MODERN STYLE

The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”

Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.

Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chaircrafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.

It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

“Dancer” – Artist’s Proof Serigraph by Bertha Vincent Walls, American, 1917–2010
Located in Morristown, NJ
"Dancer” – Artist’s Proof Serigraph by Bertha Vincent Walls (American, 1917–2010) Bertha Vincent Walls (American, 1917–2010). Edition: Artist’s Proof (A.P.), pencil signed lower right, edition notation lower left. A striking silkscreen print by noted American artist Bertha Vincent Walls, whose work explores dynamic human forms through bold color blocking and dramatic silhouette. In Dancer, a muscular male figure is caught mid-leap, arm raised with theatrical flair against an abstract red and ochre background. The visual tension between motion and stillness reflects Walls’ deep engagement with modern dance, movement, and the expressive human body. This vibrant Artist’s Proof exemplifies the artist’s command of color and form in mid-century printmaking. Attribution Note: Stylistically, Dancer aligns with the mid-20th-century figurative expression seen in the works of Charles Wilbert White...
