The Invention of Simplicity - Biedermeier | The Principles of Classical Art
The Style of Simplicity
| The Ideal of Nature
| Geometric Forms and Abstract Tendencies
The exhibition concentrates in its selection of 450 objects on the core of the
artistic production of the epoch.
To achieve this, it follows the determinant
historical and intellectual currents of the turn of the 18th to the 19th
century. The exhibition sets out by representing the “principles of classical
art”, thus elucidating the interaction of stylistic features in the imitation of
the classical art of antiquity. The subsequent areas of the exhibition are
devoted to the underlying forms of expression of Biedermeier art: the
“Style of Simplicity”, the “Ideal of Nature” and “Geometry and Abstraction”.
The characteristic features begin to unfold before 1800. Their further development
takes place from 1815 to 1830. The impulses of this first “Modern
Style” in the 19th century emanate from the residential cities of the European
courts. The leading centres of artistic production include Copenhagen,
Berlin, Karlsruhe, Munich, Prague and Vienna. In teaching of the art of
drawing, art academies and drawing schools establish the basic principles of
modern design instruction.
