Hi My local group is organizing a convention for early June and apart from the individual exhibitions of the people participating we usually do a group exhibition with a specific topic. For this year someone proposed to do an exhibition showing different ages of origami with models that were representative somehow of one era (innovative, groundbreaking or those everybody wanted to fold). Several of us have researched if is there such a timeline and we've found nothing of use. We checked David Lister's archives, Peter Engel books and several other sources without luck.
So is anyone aware of such a timeline? I would think it would go something like this (with a lot to be improved, revised and added) 16 th century crane, flappin bird and the like. 1953 Jackstone ... Mooser's train 195? Akira Joshizawa's Orangutan 1970 Animals derived from John Montroll's animal base 198? Robert Lang's pianist 199? Chris Palmer's Flower Tower 199? Michael Lafosse's Butterfly 199? Several of Tomoko Fuse's boxes 199? Several of Tomoko Fuse's modulars 200? Kamiya Satoshi's Ancient Dragón 200? Hojyo Takashi's God of Thunder 200? Brian Chan's Attack of the Kraken 200? Robert Lang's Black Forest Cuckoo clock 200? Joel Cooper's Tessellated Masks 200? Roman Diaz Hippocampus 201? Those ultra complex models from the Vietnam guys And many more from Japanese, European, Asian and American (including Latín América) creators. This is what I got for now and I have a plane to catch. I know it is very incomplete bit it is just to give an idea. So does anyone one know of such timeline of be willing to complement mine? -- Jorge Jaramillo
