Exhibition summary

This exhibition, held at the Palacio de la Isla in Cáceres, explores the Art Deco movement through the lens of jazz music and the vibrant social scene of the 1920s and 1930s. It showcases drawings from the Colección ABC, focusing on interior design, furniture, and decorative objects of the era.

Curatorial context

The exhibition 'A Ritmo de Jazz. Art Déco en la Colección ABC,' presented at the Palacio de la Isla in Cáceres, celebrates the dynamic Art Deco style, deeply intertwined with the energy of jazz music and the social atmosphere of the 1920s and 1930s. Following the Great War, a period of exuberance emerged with dances like the foxtrot and Charleston, and Art Deco solidified its presence as the quintessential modern style. Particularly influenced by the 1925 International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris, Art Deco embraced both tradition and modernity, luxury and functionality, impacting all creative fields from painting and architecture to applied arts, graphic design, and cinema. In Spain, the Art Deco trend was introduced through decorative elements, with the magazines Blanco y Negro and ABC serving as key conduits for disseminating these new styles. The exhibition features a selection of drawings from the Colección ABC, highlighting interior design, room layouts, decorative patterns, furniture, and objects that defined the era. These illustrations offer a glimpse into a time marked by elegance, refinement, and excess, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the visual culture that accompanied the jazz age.
