Pattern and Decoration
パターン・アンド・デコレーション / 1975–1985 / Style / Ornament
Mouvement qui contesta frontalement le postulat moderniste faisant de l'ornement une chose inférieure. Il porta à grande échelle la répétition des géométries islamiques, du quilt, du papier peint et du textile, et plaça les travaux d'aiguille féminins et les styles non occidentaux au centre de l'art. Le point de départ d'une pensée politique de l'ornement.

Entrée du dictionnaire
- Usages idéaux
- Surface and packaging systems in textiles, hospitality and cosmetics where the identity is a repeating field rather than a mark · Cultural programmes and publications that need ornament to carry an argument about whose craft counts
- Typographie
- Type set inside the pattern at the same visual weight as the motif, so that nothing sits on top of the decoration.
- Composition
- An edge-to-edge repeat with no frame and no focal point, the format read as a cut from an unbounded field.
- Matière
- Fabric, print or tile whose repeat is honest, the join left visible, with unrelated patterns allowed to meet.
- Précaution
- Using the pattern as a border around a modernist white centre, which reinstates precisely the hierarchy the movement set out to overturn.
- Pour approfondir
- Its connection to feminist art / The counter-argument to ornament as crime / The re-evaluation of textile history
