Transcript: The Netherlands-based De Stijl movement embraced an abstract, pared-down aesthetic centered in basic visual elements such as geometric forms and primary colors. Partly a reaction against the decorative excesses of Art Deco, the reduced quality of De Stijl art was envisioned by its creators as a universal visual language appropriate to the modern era, a time of a new, spiritualized world order 1800 Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American information technology entrepreneur and inventor.

Dada or Dadaism was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early 20th century. Dada in Zürich, Switzerland, began in 1916 at Cabaret Voltaire, spreading to Berlin shortly thereafter, but the height of New York Dada was the year before, in 1915. The term anti-art, a precursor to Dada, was coined by Marcel Duchamp around 1913 when he created his first readymades. Dada, in addition to being anti-war, had political affinities with the radical left and was also anti-bourgeois. Distinctive design, mark, or symbol that uniquely identifies a firm.

The letters "IBM" took on a more solid, grounded and balanced appearance. Even though Gutenberg did not invent most of the devices for which he is commonly given credit, his achievements are monumental. They are rooted in his ability to scientifically synthesize various mechanical elements into an economical, practical product. Gutenberg built on the work of others, starting with their existing tools and devices, which he modified, refined and perfected to suit his purpose. The Second Industrial Revolution, also known as the Technological Revolution,[1] was a phase of rapid industrialization in the final third of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. 1901 1960 This process began in Britain in the 18th century and from there spread to other parts of the world. Although used earlier by French writers, the term Industrial Revolution was first popularized by the English economic historian Arnold Toynbee (1852–83) to describe Britain's economic development from 1760 to 1840. The techniques of printing were developed in Europe by craftsmen ignorant of these advances in the Far East. As in China, the earliest printing took the form of illustrated sheets printed from carved wooden blocks These illustrations were largely religious in nature, simple in design, and meant to be coloured by hand, and were made by largely anonymous craftsmen, and very few examples have survived. 1919 The New York School was an informal group of American poets, painters, dancers, and musicians active in the 1950s and 1960s in New York City.

Taking inspiration from the unruly aspects of the natural world, Art Nouveau influenced art and architecture especially in the applied arts, graphic work, and illustration.
