Modern Taste: Art Deco in Paris, 1910- 1935

                    
Hi,

We are going to this Art Deco exhibition at Juan March Institution on May 6th at 11am. Would you like to attend?

The exhibition Modern Taste: Art Deco in Paris, 1910–1935 aims to offer visitors an opportunity to appreciate, examine, assess and enjoy an artistic movement that defies easy definition but which has been described as "the last of the total styles": Art Deco.

It is organized chronologically and thematically into eight sections that trace the evolution of a fascinating yet little-known phenomenon. Featuring over 350 paintings, sculptures, pieces of furniture, fashion garments, items of jewelry, perfumery, cinema-related material, images of architecture, glass, ceramics, lacquerwork and goldsmithery, not to mention fabrics, book-bindings, photographs, drawings, plans, models, advertising posters and magazines from more than fifty public and private collections in both Europe and the United States, Modern Taste: Art Deco in Paris, 1910–1935 is vividly evocative of the Zeitgeist of a time that is as difficult to capture as it is deeply-rooted in our contemporary culture.
