Jazz modern by Carolyn Shattuck

Object Details

Notes: "Jazz Modern is a flexagon book structure that expresses the Art Deco movement of the 1920s and 30s. Art Deco grew out of the austerity of post World War 1 and the Decorative Society founded in France in 1900. The movement drew inspiration from many fields including geometry, machinery, botany, nationalism and color. These ideas were translated into furniture, flatware, interior design, and architecture to create a powerful and beautiful aesthetic. This rotating flexagon also depicts women in fashionable attire. In a time of economic depression, Art Deco offered a symbol of hope and fantasy. The term Art Deco originated in the 1960s from earlier names such as Jazz Style and Jazz Modern." -- http://www.vampandtramp.com/finepress/s/shattuck-gallery.html; Edition of 25; Inkjet printed on Epson Matte digital paper.
