All American Ads of the 20's

by Steven Heller

All American Ads of the 20's Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The dawn of American consumerism Prohibition made liquor illegal and all the more fun to drink. Speakeasies, luxury cars, women's liberation, bathtub gin and a booming economy kept the country's mood on the up-and-up. Women sheared off their locks and taped their chests, donning flapper dresses and dancing the Charleston until their legs gave out. Gangsters flourished in big cities and gangster movies flourished in Hollywood. It was the roaring twenties in America: a singular time in history, a lull between two world wars and the last gas before the nation's descent into the Great Depression. Forging the way into the future like a modern streamliner in a sea of antiquity, advertising in the 20s sought to bring avant-garde into the mainstream — which it did with great success.

Synopsis:

The "Roaring '20s" in America was a singular time in history, a lull between two world wars and the last gas before a nation's descent into the Great Depression. This newest addition to the All-American Ads series celebrates the decade's best print advertisements.

Die Werbung in den 20ern wähnt sich in der Rolle eines modernen Dampfschiffs im Fahrwasser des Fortschritts. Hinter sich: eine antiquierte Welt - am Horizont: die Zukunft. Die Avantgarde bandelt mit dem Mainstream an: es folgt eine äußerst kreative und künstlerisch wertvolle Phase in der Geschichte der Werbung!
