An artist expanding his or her work into branded high street goods? That’s something that came later surely, with Keith Haring's Pop Shop. Yet other trends apparent in a new Tate show seem to have arrived too early or too late.
We all know that “on or about 1910,” as the Bloomsbury Group’s Virginia Woolf once wrote, “human character changed.” It was then that the disjointed qualities of modern life called forth new styles of artistic expression, from Cubism and Fauvism to Dada and Surrealism, which we now group under the larger unbrella of Modernism. Juliet Bingham, curator of a new Tate retrospective explains how the artist went from fine art to fabric and backĪrt history doesn’t usually fall along neat lines.
