Pattern and Decoration was an art movement situated in the United States from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. The movement has sometimes been referred to as "P&D"〔 〕〔 〕 or as The New Decorativeness.〔 〕 The movement was championed by the gallery owner Holly Solomon.〔 〕 The movement was the subject of a retrospective museum show at the Hudson River Museum, which closed in January 2008.〔〔 〕 ==Background and influences== The Pattern and Decoration movement consisted of artists, many of whom had art education backgrounds, who had been involved with the abstract schools of art of the 1960s. The westernised, male dominated climate of artistic thought throughout Modernism had led to a marginalisation of what was considered non-Western and feminine. The P&D movement wanted to revive an interest in minor forms such as patterning which at that point was equated with triviality. The prevailing negative view of decoration was one not generally shared by non-Western cultures.〔 〕 The Pattern and Decoration movement was influenced by sources outside of what was considered to be fine art. Blurring the line between art and design, many P&D works mimic patterns like those on wallpapers, printed fabrics, and quilts.〔 These artists also looked for inspiration outside of the United States. The influence of Islamic tile work from Spain and North Africa are visible in the geometric, floral patterns. They looked at Mexican, Roman, and Byzantine mosaics; Turkish embroidery, Japanese woodblocks; and Iranian and Indian carpets and miniatures.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pattern and Decoration」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
