Youth & Beauty: Art of the American Twenties Book of Postcards

This postcard book celebrates American art from the period between the end of World War I and the onset of the Great Depression. The war and the rampant materialism that followed it—along with increased urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization—dramatically transformed the American environment and way of life. American artists responded to these rapid changes with the expression of a new brand of idealized realism, evoking a seemingly serene and perfect world.

Twenty-eight color reproductions bound in a handy postcard collection. Oversized postcards measure 6 ½ x 4 ¾ in.
