Academically, neoclassicism is generally regarded as the collective name of British neoclassicism in18th century, French neoclassicism in19th century (also known as "imperial style") and American federal style in1780–1920. 1) British neoclassical style1In the eighth century, Britain produced many figures who made great contributions to neoclassical artistic style. Except that Queen Anne's style was not created by herself, the others were named after the creators themselves, such as robert adam, Thomas Sheraton and Herb White. French rococo style has little influence on Britain. It was not until France abandoned Rococo itself that Britain began to imitate Rococo style in large quantities and applied it to its neoclassical furniture design. However, the calm, restrained and low-key character of the British determines that the British neoclassical style art is different. 2)19th century French neoclassical style originated from19th century Napoleon's period. After his expedition to Egypt, there was an Egyptian craze in France, which had a great influence on French neoclassical style. Napoleon removed Rococo style from French decorative arts, and under his leadership, he recreated "Napoleon-French Emperor", also known as "Emperor", and adopted a large number of ancient Egyptian decorative patterns. 3)/kloc-American neoclassical style a and American federal style in the 8th century were formed around 1789. After the American War of Independence, the new federal government was established, and it is urgent to create a decorative style that can represent the image of the new country. On the other hand, some big cities on the east coast of the United States, such as Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Baltus and Charleston, have become the birthplace of the federal style because they can't give up their emotional ties with Europe. B, American imperial style and American federal style coexist at the same time. American imperial style is mainly popular in new york, Boston, Philadelphia and other big cities, and it is the American version of French imperial style. Duncan Fife, the representative figure of American imperial style, was greatly influenced by the British regency style. Some people think that he is the spokesman of the British regency style in the United States. The furniture in the Regency period in England is more bulky and exquisite in appearance than that in the Neoclassical Movement period. Its design style and decorative elements are largely borrowed from ancient Rome, ancient Greece and ancient Egypt, and China elements (bamboo imitation) and Japanese gold lacquer techniques are also integrated into it. Third, the source of drinking water At the beginning of the 20th century, with the rise of modern style, the contradiction between neoclassical style and modern style became increasingly acute. 1925 The "decorative art" that rose in Paris existed after World War I and before World War II, and then spread to the United States, so "American decorative art" once appeared, which was a mixture, compromise and compromise of neoclassical style and modern style. After 1980s, with the decline of modern style, neoclassical style rose again. When the royal aristocrats in the ruling class gradually fade out of the historical stage, the emerging aristocrats need a new decorative style to meet their spiritual needs and show their wealth and power, which belongs to neoclassical style. The Victorian style after the prevalence of neo-classical style is the representative work of classicism in the history of art development after the industrial revolution. Victoria's decorative style is famous for its intricate carvings and jewelry decorations, and its artistic patterns are inspired by nature: flowers, grapes, trees, hummingbirds, butterflies and dragonflies. The characteristics of its exotic culture come from oriental art, Middle Eastern art and African art. Those gothic inspiration details, Arabic decorative patterns and exquisite decorative lines make people feel like they are back to the Victorian era of19th century. Neoclassical style is famous for its solemnity, symmetry, elegance, exquisiteness and low-key. Its exquisite and complicated decorative lines, tall and imposing mantelpiece, gorgeous door cover lines, smooth and elegant marble, crystal lamps, gorgeous and noble curtains and exquisite and elegant furniture are unmatched by any other decorative style. Therefore, neoclassical style is more suitable for large-scale and large-scale formal space, because its relatively rich, trivial and complicated shapes and lines divide the large-scale space into smaller spaces, thus producing exquisite and symmetrical scale proportional relations. Because the neoclassical style requires extremely high quality of ornaments and materials, and it is more suitable for a larger living space, today's neoclassical style can only be enjoyed by a few wealthy classes.
