Following the landmark 1925 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, Art Deco blossomed, transforming everything from skyscrapers and cars to teacups and everyday objects. Art historian Madeleine Deschamps will explore a design movement mirroring a society in flux, balancing exuberance with social change in France and the United States.
Organized with Miami Design Preservation League and presented as part of Art Deco Weekend in partnership with Alliance Française Miami Metro.
