Final Draft
1920 a color age, an age where women can have a toke and feel
rebellious. Its is an age where architecture flipped its lens and took a whole
new design. Cars, the period revolutionized its meaning and the industry. A
whole new age in art had evolved, the Roaring Twenties.
Art Deco was a big design movement in art history. It influenced
manyarchitects, engineers, designers, etc. the moment originated from
Belgium and then later western Europe and the us adapted the moment. Art
Deco was based off on a system where geometric, clean ziggurat shapes,
etc. This helped the design of the Chrysler building. According
to,http://www.slideshare.net/clouclou60/arts-in-the-roaring-twenties, “One of
the most remarkable building featuring this style..” Art Deco went above and
beyond the design of repetition and redundancy approach. It changed the
industry in a way where you can fit more “practical furniture” in compact
rooms. It had exceeded its boundaries in industrial design. The classic
elegant appeal made an outstanding landmark in design history.
This period affected painters causing a trend, surrealism. The most
famous painters of that time where; Picasso, Klee, and Miro. Surrealism is
based on catching the viewers off guard. The ambiguity and how direct the
style, truly sets off a spark.
The age of women’s status became a standard. The women that
rebelled against the typical Victorian design, were called flappers. The word
migrated from England. It obtained its meaning from an old word, prostitute.
The word flap got its name cause of the women at that time had their hair
flapped back. The style they had was more flamboyant in a more sexual
appeal approach. Aside from their crude humor they were sought out after
their style. They were influenced with French fashion elements, for example
the works of Coco Chanel
