Modernist. 1. Architectural style of the 1920s and 1930s incorporating decorative devices that owed not a little to
Art Deco,
Aztec, and Ancient Egyptian styles, prompted by the 1925 Paris Exhibition. Among the commoner motifs were
chevrons, canted and
corbelled ‘arches’,
medallions, wave-scrolls, flutings, mouldings stepped over surfaces, and geometrical patterns. Colours were vivid, influenced by artefacts discovered in Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, so blacks, vermilions, greens, yellows, blues, and lots of gilt and chrome were
de rigueur, often in enamels and even glazed openings.
Modernistic buildings (as they are often called) also incorporated streamlining and curved walls. A good example of a Modernistic building is the former Hoover Building, Western Avenue, London (1931–8), by
Wallis, Gilbert, & Partners.
2. Person subscribing to the doctrine and principles of the
Modern Movement.
