...bold red Mayan ‘drawing’ offsets the Grecian slighter white figure technique. It is often the similarities in works across time and place that are most intriguing. A case in the second gallery that houses fish and flowers illustrates this strength. A floral Josef Hoffman design from roughly 1920 echoes both a Chinese vase from the eleventh-century Northern Song Dynasty and a twelfth-century plaque from Cologne—one of the show’s tiny treasures—while the congruence of fish forms in ancient Greek and Egyptian bowls plays well...

Hoffman’s ability to stir the Harvard varsity even as a freshman proved quite the augur: he was almost expelled from...
...collection of clutches for Leiber and Dior's dazzling diamond-encrusted watch. At Proenza Schouler, models looked as though they had traveled back through time, swaddled in lush fur collars and cloche hats. On the home front, Baker's furniture line by Laura Kirar echoes the lines of Josef Hoffman. But for more exact period reproductions, check out the design shop at New York City's Neue Galerie...
