Good explainatory video. However, some kind of reflection upon the text would also be interesting in my opinion. Btw: Loos is not pronounced like the word "loose", the o sound rather like in "low".

Thankyou for the explanation. What I do not understand is why he has seen ornament as not just primitive, nur feminine and erotic. Can you Help me?

[@philjenkins1292]

Thanks for your nice comment and question MSabc. I'm not completely sure what you're asking, but I'll take a stab at it. Loos sees not just ornament, but all art as erotic: "All art is erotic. The first ornament to have been invented, the cross, was of erotic origin. It was the first work of art. A horizontal stroke: the woman lying down. A vertical stroke: the male who penetrates her." (Adolf Loos, "Ornament and Crime"). I'm not a Loos scholar, so I don't know why he thinks this, but it is provocative and interesting!
