Join Architecture Sarasota's Scholar-in-Residence, Dr. Christopher Wilson, in exploring 100 years of the Art Deco style.
About this Event

Beyond skyscrapers and silver, Art Deco found its voice on the canvas and the printed page. This class examines how artists and illustrators translated the glamour and energy of the era into paintings, posters, and graphic design that defined a modern aesthetic.

Discover:

  • Paintings infused with streamlined figures, stylized geometry, and exotic influences
  • Illustration and magazines that turned fashion, travel, and theater into works of art
  • Graphic design and advertising that used bold typography and striking imagery

From the iconic posters of the 1925 Paris Exposition to the sleek visuals of ocean liners and luxury brands, Deco imagery was everywhere — shaping how the world saw itself in a new century.

Join us to explore the dynamic world of Art Deco’s visual culture, where art and commerce intersected, and images carried the sparkle of an entire era.
