Egyptomania and the Nile Style Video Event
About the Program:
Dig into the 1920s and 30s passion for Egyptian-inspired design sparked by the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb known as Egyptomania!
You won’t want to miss this vivacious video event presentation by engaging historian Lucy Jane Santos, who will take us through the fashion, jewelry, cosmetics, decorative arts, architecture, cinema, and music that encompassed the Nile Style in the 1920s and 1930s.
While fascination surrounding Ancient Egypt has existed for millennia, the early twentieth century simply did it bigger and better than ever. The flames of Egyptomania ignited in the previous centuries were fueled by new archaeological discoveries (including that of King Tut), superstitions and crucially, the style that would come to define the Art Deco aesthetic.
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.
