SUMMARY:Mid-Century Design
DESCRIPTION: Location: Smart Museum of Art5550 South Greenwood Avenue\
	, Chicago\, IL  Description: Progressive artists\, designers\, and arc
	hitects decisively reshaped the everyday world of objects between 1850
	 and 1950. Advocating for design reform—and by extension\, social re
	form—they promoted a host of competing ideologies that embraced aest
	hetic revolution and technical innovation. This exhibition examines th
	e complex\, ever-shifting course of modern design theory and its appli
	cation in Europe and the United States. Mounted entirely from the Smar
	t Museum's collection\, the exhibition takes a focused approach\, offe
	ring close readings of masterworks such as Edmond Johnson's facsimiles
	 of medieval treasures made for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago\, fur
	niture and leaded windows designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the histo
	ric Robie House\, and Marianne Brandt's rare modernist silver tea serv
	ice\, which was fabricated by hand in the metal workshop of the famed 
	Bauhaus. Together\, these and other works in a variety of media give i
	nsight into the interweaving history and iconic forms that defined the
	 domestic world of modernism during the fertile one-hundred-year perio
	d between the mid centuries.Keywords:AllExhibitions
