Victorian era

UNIT 1 The importance of being earnest At the turn of the century artists, writers and playwrights were highly critical of Victorian achievements and beliefs. They mocked and challenged middle-class values, such as convention, respectability and the very notion of art, a classic example is Oscar Wilde´s play. Wilde followed the Art for Art´s Sake doctrine: pursue fleeting beauty and pleasure as ends in themselves. Polished, impressionistic images that appealed to the senses and also a desire

launched the signature Monogram Canvas and made the worldwide patents on it.[3][4] Its graphic symbols, including quatrefoils and flowers (as well as the LV monogram), were based on the trend of using Japanese and Oriental designs in the late Victorian era. The patents later proved to be successful in stopping counterfeiting.
