“The exhibition Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties presents the work of 68 painters, sculptors, and photographers who explored a new mode of modern realism embodying the vibrant ethos of the Jazz Age. These vibrant nudes and intimate close-up portraits celebrate the sexual freedom that was characteristic of the age, in which defiance of the limiting routines of mechanical labor and the stresses of modern urban life was the order of the day.”
Rozalia Jovanovic, Flavorpill
