Lecture by Artem Dezhurko at the Garage Museum. Stories before design. Design is one of the most characteristic features of the 20th century, and just like in painting or architecture, it has its own talents and geniuses. The names of the artists and architects who changed all the art of the last century are widely known. The authors of object design remain in some oblivion. What and who is hidden behind the "appearance" of a chair or the "look" of a refrigerator? Journalist Artem Dezhurko talks about the Kandinskys of the furniture industry and the Matisses of the automobile industry in his lectures. The topic of the first meeting is the stories that happened before the advent of design. The program: decorative and applied arts in Great Britain in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Owen Jones and Henry Cole. The Crystal Palace and the founding of the Victoria and Albert Museum. The Arts and Crafts movement. William Morris, Charles Voysey and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Hermann Muthesius and the German Werkbund. Peter Behrens and the role of his studio in educating the first generation of modernist architects. Peter Behrens' work for AEG.
