Avant-Garde British Interiors, 1912–1942
This illustrated talk at The Poly in Falmouth examines a remarkable period when avant-garde artists in Britain turned their attention from the gallery wall to the spaces people actually lived and worked in. Between 1912 and 1942, designers and artists reimagined domestic and commercial interiors with the same energy they brought to painting and sculpture — bringing modernist ideas into everyday surroundings. The lecture is suited to anyone with an interest in art history, design, or the social history of the period. No prior knowledge is needed, and The Poly's intimate setting makes for a relaxed afternoon event.
