During the 1920s, Delaunay designed textiles and dresses, and her use of abstract colors had a strong influence on international fashion. But she basically known for her use of strong colors and geometric shapes she did a lot of abstract work using circles and geometric shapes I think they may have even called it orphism..

Its exterior is variegated, blushing pink leaking into rust and green, its long composite body composed of various segments ruffled, polypous, tubular, spiral, and freeform. As it languishes limply in my hands, I note that its morphology is reminiscent of the frilly leaves and air bladders of kelp.
One of the most important elements of the Romanesque movement were illuminated manuscripts. There were few major innovations during this movement because it was a continuance of former Eastern European movements but, illuminated manuscripts were pretty specific to the period. Also there was the Gothic Art which was a Medieval art movement. One of the main Gothic art mediums was Illuminated Manuscripts. But During the 1400s Printing press was invented, During the Renaissance, hand illuminated manuscripts were still being made even though the printing press was invented
The major designers associated with the movement were William Morris, A. H. Mackmurdo, Lewis F. Day, C. R. Ashbee, and C. F. Voysey but also the writer John Ruskin.

Egypt was united into a single kingdom, which allowed it to enjoy a high degree of unity, stability, and culture continuality over a period of 3,000 years. The geography, writing, architectural structures, society, and their process of mummification made the Egyptian culture unique compared to the other civilizations of the time. The Ancient Egyptians thought of Egypt as being divided into two types of land, the “black land” and the “red land.
Cape coats – what really are they? The design of the cape coat is traced back to the 19th century. Though invented ages back, the cape coat design is vibrantly creeping in todays design diaries. Cape coats base their meaning from the terminology fall coat which generally means a clothing of varied dimensions, which is sleeveless and sewn to the neck region of the cloth with the rest of the cloth falling loosely from the shoulders of the clothing. It is left to the choice of a person to put on the cape coat with other garments e. g. A shirt, skinny jeans, a top.
An Italian harpsichord maker, Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1731), invented the fortepiano and continued to develop this instrument until the 1720s. In the 1730s, Gottfried Silbermann, a German constructor of keyboard instruments, took up the work of Cristofori and built several grand pianofortes based on Cristofori’s design. The classical fortepiano has lighter, thinner, less emphatic, more transparent and sustained tone color than the modern piano we have now. The lightness of its construction produced a crisper sound that is characteristic of the music written of this day. Cristofori’s pianos were not treasured in the beginning since his pianofortes were still very similar to the clavichords.
