The Art Deco Era: French World’s Fairs and Ocean Liners Video Event
About the Program:
The Art Deco Society of New York’s series of recorded illustrated talks inspired by our Destination Deco program continues with this exciting “visit” to Paris with architectural historian, Pascal Yves, head of the Paris Art Deco Society.
In his illustrated talk, presented from his Paris home, Pascal surveys French Art Deco innovations during the 1920s and 30s, focusing on the importance of French World’s Fairs and Ocean Liners––two of our favorite topics.
In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––Pascal uses works of two major French architects of the period, Roger-Henri Expert and Pierre Patout, as points of reference as he takes us through important design undertakings of the 1920s and 30s. You will see many tantalizing aspects of the Paris 1925 L’Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes; the 1931 Exposition coloniale international; and the 1937 Exposition internationale des arts et techniques dans la vie moderne. And to make this presentation even more engaging, he also highlights France’s most stunning Art Deco ocean liners, SS Île de France, SS L’Atlantique, and SS Normandie.
Pascal concludes by explaining the impact and influence that these monumental French projects had on America’s 1930s World’s Fairs.
This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.
