Yeah you probably want to check everything past Formby so he can cross reference it with Wiki, Woof.
No, Im just someone that has to share this forum with someone else whose grandiose just about eclispes his ignorance.
There are so many reasons you're wrong with your posts on this page even when you corrected the first statement, you didnt really show any understanding of Modernism or American society in the first part of the 20th century.

Again with the mental health slurs...you could just well be a bit of a prat that needs to be brought to task on the crap you come out with...it doesnt matter if a post is directed at me or not..its a forum..PM someone if you dont want me to comment on it.
Maybe you can explain to me why prep fashions in American menswear in the 1920s weren't actually traditional men's dress?
You've basically shown little knowledge to collegiate style and the jazz age which walked hand in hand with American Art Deco
Now I could have just ignored that, or like Ive done before actually say, hold on not only are you spouting crap, but you're doing it in such a puffed up manner you can only really be described as a prick.

My ideal Ivy/MidCenturyModern place to live would be Heath Robinson's flat with Tati's Mon Oncle as a neighbour..
I can find you examples of modernist architecture in America from the turn of the 20th century. I think you are confusing Modernism with Mid-Century Modern.
If we are taking sides in the formby1 v Bop architectural face-off I would have to say that Art Deco may be considered Moderne but not Modernist. As Formby points out Art Deco was largely decorative whereas Modernist architecture shunned decoration . It is easy to get the terms modern, Moderne, Modernist mixed up. In America Modernist architecture was adopted more as a style and the social, philosophical, manifesto of the European movement was perhaps dropped or ignored.
Formby1 is correct on this one.
You're arguing semantics. They all fall under the umbrella of modern and therefore are inherently a part of the 20th Century modernist movement. Attaching a suffix to the end of the word doesn't automatically subscribe it to a fixed doctrine or period; there were many eras of modernism, of which Deco/Moderne/Bauhaus/New Objectivity/etc styles were undoubtedly all components.
