An exhilarating look at Art Deco design in 1920s America, using
jazz as its unifying metaphor Capturing the dynamic pulse of the
era's jazz music, this lavishly illustrated publication explores
American taste and style during the golden age of the 1920s.
Following the destructive years of the First World War, this
flourishing decade marked a rebirth of aesthetic innovation that
was cultivated to a great extent by American talent and patronage.
Due to an influx of European emigres to the United States, as well
as American enthusiasm for traveling to Europe's cultural capitals,
a reciprocal wave of experimental attitudes began traveling back
and forth across the Atlantic, forming a creative vocabulary that
mirrored the ecstatic spirit of the times. The Jazz Age showcases
developments in design, art, architecture, and technology during
the '20s and early '30s, and places new emphasis on the United
States as a vital part of the emerging marketplace for Art Deco
luxury goods. Featuring hundreds of full-color illustrations and
essays by two leading historians of decorative arts, this
comprehensive catalogue shows how America and the rest of the world
worked to establish a new visual representation of modernity.
