Guest curator Catherine Futter on American Art Deco: Designing for the People, 1918–1939
Video Tour, Virtual Tours
Description from Frist Art Museum:
Guest curator Catherine Futter walks us through American Art Deco: Designing for the People, 1918–1939. Appropriately presented within the Frist’s own art deco interior during the museum’s twentieth-anniversary year, this exhibition offers an overview of an international style that manifested stateside in decorative arts, fine arts, architecture, and design during the 1920s and 1930s. Featuring approximately 140 objects, American Art Deco explores the movement between 1918 and 1939 and highlights not only the glamour and optimism of the 1920s but also the impact of the Great Depression in the 1930s. An array of works, from a stunning 1925 René Lalique glass vase to a 1930 Ford Model A, will immerse guests in this period of much social, political, and cultural change.
Organized by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri, and Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska, American Art Deco: Designing for the People, 1918–1939 is on view through January 2, 2022.
