Art Deco Weekend Registration Info: Modern for the Masses

Tune in as Wolfsonian chief curator Silvia Barisione spotlights art and design objects that show how the novel styles of the 1920s and '30s defined a new way of living. Breaking away from revivalist styles, a modern language emerged among designers and manufacturers in Europe and the U.S., morphing gradually into an industrial aesthetic that championed functionality and simplicity over ornament. From unique pieces to mass-produced household items, this Art Deco Weekend presentation will feature works from our collection and from that of The Wolfsoniana, our sister institution in Genoa, Italy.
