Historically Modern: Quilts, Textiles & Design: Principles of Modernism: Unmodulated Color
http://historicallymodernquilts.blogspot.com/2013/05/principles-of-modernism-unmodulated.html
Thursday, May 9, 2013. Principles of Modernism: Unmodulated Color. Sawtooth medallion about 1900. Art historians analyze trends and describe them, often using jargon like "unmodulated color," which means plains or solids to a quilter. In painting they are talking about large areas of flat color without the traditional shading seen in this 1889 portrait of a shepherd by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. One reason folkarts appealed to the modernists was the use of flat areas of color. Plains look more modern.

http://historicallymodernquilts.blogspot.com/2014/02/symmetryasymmetry.html
Thursday, February 13, 2014. Traditional patchwork patterns often are based on. Four-way mirror image symmetry. That repetitive pattern within the block is very appealing.

Suprematist Painting: Eight Red Rectangles,. Jackson Pollock, Stenographic Figure, 1942. Museum of Modern Art. The downside: So much symmetry can be static. Architect Philip...

http://historicallymodernquilts.blogspot.com/2013/09/principles-of-modernism-no.html
Thursday, September 12, 2013. Principles of Modernism: No Sentimentalism. A Little Coaxing, 1890. The epitome of a romantic painter, Bouguereau told a story that the viewer can interpret: Perhaps: two sisters, one orange. The narrative is cute; the girls are sweet; the picture evokes many sentiments. Sentimentalism is the use of art to evoke those kinds of emotions: cute, sweet, nostalgic, protective, heartwarming, etc. The modernists often defined themselves as anti-Bouguereau. Le déjeuner, 1921. Art sh...
