Design American History Womens Studies Charles Frederick Worth American Gilded Age Crazy Quilts In this study, the similarities and/or differences between Charles Frederick Worth gowns and Crazy Quilts created from 1876 to 1890 in Cincinnati, and their historic contributions to understandings of culture with respect to the socio-economic standards of their consumers, were addressed. These items were paired with prior research on life and economics during the American Gilded Age, the Arts and Crafts Movement, and La Belle E'poque to expand the aesthetic meaning of these trends. For context concerning the historical, cultural, and artistic aspects of the items being analyzed, the E. McClung Fleming’s Model for artifact study (1974), the elements of art, and the principles of design were utilized as methodologies in the study. The data were collected and compared through content analysis to answer three questions leading the research (similarities, differences, and historic contributions). A variety of specific aesthetic and cultural similarities and differences held between the owners and the objects were identified. The Charles Frederick Worth gowns and the Crazy Quilts examined were determined to be cultural artifacts of female consumerism and trend consciousness reflective of the documented Cincinnati, Ohio region during the 1876 to 1890 time period. 2018 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1535017972299049 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1535017972299049 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
