Presentation description

This research project investigates the patterns and designs present in Alois Riegl's pattern book "Stilfragen." Using primarily Riegl's book and Owen Jones' "The Grammar of Ornament," I look into locating the physical objects from these books which form the basis of the art historical canon surrounding cultural motifs. The obscure objects are brought to light through this work and the methodological approach to information collection provides an explanation to their significance and inclusion.
