Images of the Roaring Twenties: A Centennial Celebration

Remembered for scandalous fashions, revolutionary jazz music and amazing new freedoms for women, the 1920s is one of the most exciting time periods in American history. This lecture will focus on the newly "liberated" women of the 1920s -- known as flappers -- whose rebellious attitude inspired risqué, flashy fashions, unorthodox behavior and a demand for equality. The Art Deco design trends of the period and on painters from the Harlem Renaissance will also be discussed, as well as slides of posters, dresses, hats, period photographs, paintings, fashion accessories, advertisements, and John Held, Jr. illustrations from the 1920s be shown. *Register
