The Jazz Age showcases developments in design, art, architecture, and technology right through the ’20s and early ’30s, and places new emphasis on the USA as a vital a 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 The united states and the remainder of the world worked to establish a new visual representation of modernity.
