Jazz Age Illustration
Jazz Age Illustration captures the sights, sounds, and spirit of a nation in transition. The exhibition explores a wide range of themes. It explores the art of popular illustration featuring over 100 works by renowned artists. The exhibition delves into the cultural impact of illustration during a time of dramatic social change.
Paintings and drawings originally published in Vogue, Vanity Fair, The Saturday Evening Post, and in books by authors such as Herman Melville and F. Scott Fitzgerald are among the works on view.
Organized by the Delaware Art Museum, Jazz Age Illustration is the first major exhibition to survey the art of popular illustration in the United States between 1919 and 1942—a vibrant and transformative era of innovation, evolving styles, social change, and expanding popular media.
