“Popular from roughly 1870 into the 1890s, this was a Victorian mode of home furnishing. Yet, there was something different about it. Although these changes seemed relatively minor, the Eastlake style predicted major changes to the arts.
The modern world didn't just appear overnight. In the arts, modernism is the early 20th-century movement that rejected ornamentation and reduced the arts to their simplest elements of shape, line, and color. It was a big change, but one that took time to generate. In fact, a lot of the earliest glimpses of modernist ideas were still fully entrenched within the arts of the Victorian era in the 19th century.”
