THE COURSE offers art history lectures, guided museum visits and London walks.
At the end of the Great War, the Western World attempted to forget the recent past by launching into a hedonistic decade characterized by cocktails, dance crazes and the jazzy Art Deco style. For those who could not afford Haute Couture and luxury liners there was the glamorous escapist world created by the new Hollywood studios and their European counterparts. Another and quite different response to the war was what Jean Cocteau called “The Call to Order†– a desire to return to the timeless values of Classicism. This course will explore the arts and lifestyles of the fascinating and ultimately doomed period between the wars.
ART DECO
This lecture explores the development of the glamorous and decadent style that began to evolve in Paris before the First World War, spread across the world in the inter-war period, reaching a climax with the Paris Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in 1925 and finally evolved into a sleeker and more streamlined style under the influence of Bauhaus modernism in the 1930s.
