What I, never thought about is furniture were consider a form of art. I was taken back to the many different styles that were on display. The two pieces I chose are from two different time periods 1800s and 1900. Both pieces resemble each other in their own way, with some fine details. What drew to each piece was the detail and craftsmanship. The fact, they are hand maid and have deep rich color tones. It is masculine, but has some feminine elements of each piece. My first view was the style of the cabinet. The color and detail caught my attention, giving me a sense of down home comfort. The chisel marking gave the cabinet a theme, and the latch played off of the chisel marking as well. The Chair complements the cabinet. The color of the leather seat and the circular buttons played off of the cabinet. The two piece are for two different centuries and can be placed together in any room as if they were made to be paired together from the same century.

Upon entering the museum I was bombarded by this 12 x 45 ft. architectural painting. Almost resembling the museum building itself. With sharp horizontal and verticals lines, this multi colored piece reminded me of our last piece from project 8. Using a variety of colors with no obvious correlation, the clash of colors instantly made me reflect on how I could improve future and previous projects alike. The amount of straight lines in different lengths and widths, also reminded me of our piece from project 1. With no curves and lines going every which way, its amazing how a piece made entirely of lines with no figures could be so captivating.
With works in every known medium, from every part of the world, throughout all points in history, exploring the vast collection of the Museum of Modern Art was an overwhelming experience. The objects in the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts are an important historical collection, reflecting the development of a number of art forms in Western Europe. The department's holdings covered sculpture in many sizes, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, jewelry, and tapestries.

This paper will present an analysis on how Rietveld was able to create a new idea for furniture pieces using the principles of the De Stijl movement by comparing the Red and Blue Chair, the Schroeder Table and the interior of the Schroeder House with the aid of images, sketches and diagrams to better explain this comparison. I would like to start first with a little description of the De Stijl art movement.
The center of the room is what draws your attention. It leaves your mouth open in amazement. The long rectangle table is made of strong mahogany solid wood, trimmed in a thin layer of gold. The top of the table is filled with brownish marble. The long back and tall legged chairs are also made of mahogany wood. The cushion on the chairs are soft like down alternative pillows. The square crystal clear dinner plate, trimmed in platinum, sit in front of the 30 chairs that surround the table. A fresh mixed green centerpiece is in the center of the
