You know the one, a bunch of colourful triangles and squiggles on a solid colour background. The "Saved by the Bell" art.

As far as I can tell, it was almost entirely invented by ad execs who cynically wanted to force something hip and cool, and was never actually popular with people who created art.

Does it even have a name?

Interesting. So it looks like it was a riff on the "Memphis style" of architecture interior design.

"Designer Ettore Sottsass founded the Memphis Group with other designers and architects. They took their name from a Bob Dylan song titled Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again which was played on repeat during their first meeting."
