biography

The Dutch designer Red Wilde was born in 1888. From the 1920s to the early 1960s, he devoted himself to establishing modern design standards. Born in talaka, Ukraine, he started out as a craftsman, but later he broadened his horizons and became a widely acclaimed figure in the architectural and even artistic circles. In addition to frequent travel, he has lived in Tekle, Ukraine all his life.

Rhett Wilder's formal education was only 1 1 years old, and then he worked as an apprentice in his father's cabinet manufacturing shop. He worked as a designer in a local jewelry company for 0 years+0906-19165438/486 arrived 19 19, and he has become an independent architect. Before that, he studied architectural drawing technology with P. Houtzagers and P.J. Klarhamer.

19 19 years, he became a member of the "de stijl" because of his contact with Robert van tehoff and the painter Bart van der lake.

The famous red and blue chair (19 18) was the first chair that made Rhett Wilde widely praised, although some critics thought it was beautiful but not easy to use. His other work, Schroeder's House, can be said to be the most representative building in de stijl.

As he gradually established his international reputation, the number of cases entrusted to him gradually decreased, especially in the 1960s (1930- 1940s). At that time, de stijl was divided because of the gradual differences among its members, and the so-called regional revival and the rise of historical national style appeared. The dogmatic strong proposition of neo-plasticity experienced a difficult period in the Dutch modern architectural movement at that time, until it was paid attention to in the United States in the later period, and then re-examined in Europe, and Rhett Wilde was recognized by important commissioned cases and young architects.

Architectural achievements

His furniture works can be said to be the most representative works of de stijl, and his theory and aesthetic feeling can be realized in three dimensions.

The house of Schroeder, an architectural work, is the realization of 16 points of T. Van Dusburg's sculpture building.

Whether it is furniture or architectural works, the use of linear and plate elements, the overlap of flowing and open spaces, and the bold use of unadorned colors are of great significance to the modeling performance at that time.

Both theory and design have far-reaching influence.
