The Modern Transformation of the Art of Decorative Sculptural Patterns in European Architecture at the Beginning of the 20th Century

The beginning of the 20th century was a critical period in the transformation of European architectural decorative carving patterns from traditional to modern. Against the background of industrialization, urbanization and the collision of artistic trends, architectural decorative carving patterns broke through the classical paradigm, showing the characteristics of stylistic diversification, secularization of themes and technological innovation. This paper explores the internal logic and artistic value of this transition from the dimensions of historical context, style evolution, subject matter shift, technology drive and regional genres, and reveals its far-reaching impact on modern architectural decoration.
