JOSEPHINE BAKER IN THE ART DECO AGE
love all things Art Deco. I love all things Josephine Baker, and today is her birthday. Both phenomenons were at their apex at the exact same time and it makes sense to me that the two go hand in glove. There is no other figure that better exemplifies the Art Deco asthetic than Josephine Baker in the 1920 and 30
We all know the story of the ugly from who transformed into a beautiful swan in France and her revenge on the world. Josephine grew up black and poor in St. Louis. She was just a chorus girl, but with a little sumthin sumthin extra (and still just a teenager) when she left Harlem in 1925, and traveled to with a theatrical troupe in a vaudeville revue. And the Parisians were ready! In fact, the Parisian cultural scene was ready for all things African (American) in the 1920 This photo: Consider Josephine jewlery. The most important single innovation in Art Deco jewlery the invention of the doublesided clip or clasp. New materials were introduced like laquered metals and rhinestones to fully complement the new short hairstyles popularized by like Josephine Baker.
That very same year (1925), Paris presented another sensation that shook the world,[url=http://nikefreetilbud.hcslnet.com]nike free tilbud[/url], the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels. Paris was the center of the Arts world, and this was a fullscale attempt to further French architectural design, fashion and luxury goods at the forefront every field. It is from this exhibition that the term Art Deco derives its name. We all know Josephine story, so to better understand Josephine importance in the movement, important to a little more about Art Deco than it is about Josephine, herself! In literally every room of my house you find something Sometimes it will be subtle and sometimes it not so subtle, but am of the that a bit of the Art Deco style goes a mighty long way in sophistication. Art Deco is easily recognizable today even by the noncollector. Telltale signs are sleek, smooth and seductive curves, emphasis on geometrics, rakish designs and zigzags. Everything from clocks, picture frames, sculpted figurines to cocktail shakers in birdseye maple, chrome and bakelite are easily identified as an Art Deco object. Architecture like New York Radio City Music Hall and Cincinnati Union Terminal are living breathing testaments to the style. Movie theatres of the period offer the the best example of Art Deco at its most extreme with the palacelike decor in ornamental iron, murals, mirrors and high grandeur. With a combination of Egyptian, other African, Asian and Native American motifs, Art Deco hit its peak in the 1920 and 30 right when Hollywood was at it most glamorous, and when Jazz first really came into mass popularity. And Josephine Baker was positioned right in the center of that time and place. This photo: "She helped popularize Art Deco, and she epitomized the style her lookwas extremely sleek and almost machinelike, her hair like a cap" says one art historian.
The muse for many creators Art Deco was the female body, with the sleek female form being found professional photography, on posters, as at the base of lamps and other lighting fixtures. And with her gorgeous, bronzed form Baker was considered the living embodiment of Modernist art from primitivism to expressionism to Cubism. The one lasting theme that ran all throughout Art Deco illustrations and posters was that of the modish, chic, selfpossessed and highly energetic woman. View the vintage footage, review the photographs, the articles, the bios and the memories and you know Josephine Baker was all of that! It is worth noting in this post that one of the era greatest poster designers was Paul Colin. (Look in the header of this blog for an example of his caricature). All about symmetry and geometry, as they are about stereotype Colin posters of Josephine are famous as expensive collector items; even the reproductions make a bold statement in many a smart modern decor. I chose not to include of those images here. As equally reproduced and recognized, this is more the photos and artwork from myriad artists that present Josephine Baker, the Jazz Cleopatra, in the Age of Art Deco.
The pictures tell the story better than I ever can. It was made to slick back or straighten the hair to keep it in the style that she popularized all over the world. Bakerfix flew off the shelves in France whether the ladies needed it or not. Note the unmistakable African imagery in Josephine shadow on the wall. was an animal lover, and this shot was no doubt a playup of her scandalous behavior as she strutted along the Champs de elysee with her pet leopard, Chiquita. The actual date is arguable. remains an enigma in death as she did in life. She is more than Jazz Age Diva. More than Art Deco poster child. She is more than legend. More than icon. She died in 1975 after a rags to riches, ugly duckling to beautiful swan, fairytale and fabulous life of personal and career highs and lows. For practically six decades she stayed at the top of her field and always, ALWAYS brought her Agame. Today, you can find Josephine galore and Youtube and it worth every minute of viewing. Before Diana, before Madonna, before Beyonce and before Lynn Whitfield (in her career defining moment as Josephine) there WAS Josephine! I only hope I done the woman, the age and the movement justice in just one blog post!.
