Designer Style: Home Decorating in the 1950s
Now thru September 2009
Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (MoDA)
Middlesex University, Cat Hill, Barnet, Herts, EN4 8HT
United Kingdom
www.moda.mdx.ac.uk/exhibitions/current.htm
In the years after the Second World War, Britain experienced a new sense of optimism about the future. Following the Festival of Britain, there was an emphasis on good design for all aspects of home furnishing. Manufacturers increasingly employed artists to design textiles and wallpapers, and used their names as a selling point. Consumers welcomed the new brighter colours and fresh approach to pattern. This exhibition will draw on MoDA’s own collections to show a wide range of wallpapers and textiles from the 1950s. Examples on display will include work by well-known artists and designers like Lucienne Day, Graham Sutherland, Cawthra Mulock and Jacqueline Groag. Visit Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture, located at Middlesex University for additional information.
