Pick one Darré interior, project, or drawing and analyze it visually and historically in your essay. You can also address questions such as the role of humor in interior design.
The essay should:
Include information about historical, geographical, and cultural contexts – who? when? where? what?
Identify techniques (from painting behind glass/mirrors, wheel-thrown ceramics, woven fabrics and cast bronze for chairs to pen and ink for a drawing), title, date, location, dimensions (only if known). Consider the fact that Vincent Darré collaborates with many specialists in the applied arts to create these interiors.
Engage visual information provided by the work itself: Describe what you see and interpret this visual information.
Point out the historical context and inherent aesthetic qualities of the work. Ask yourself questions such as this: What influences defined these designs or interiors? For example, mid-century modernism, biomorphic forms of Jean Arp or Salvador Dali, Surrealism, movies, dreams, the poetry of Jean Cocteau, psychoanalysis, etc.
