Dorothy Draper

Modern Baroque is a style that had particular application to large public spaces and modern architecture.
This was invented by Dorothy Draper.
To her, public space represented a place for people to come and feel elevated in the presence of great beauty where their senses could look and feel and absorb the meaning of a quality life.
She was known for her use of vibrant colors in never-before seen combinations and it contributed to dramatic design often referred to as 'the Draper touch".

She is known for her most inspired work, the restaurant at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York which is nicknamed "The Dorotheum".
