A JOURNEY to THE 1920s

Abstract

The Roaring Twenties, Les Années Folles or Os Loucos Anos Vinte evoke the memory of a splendid evanescent decade that was defined by a unique artistic-cultural effervescence. The modernity and cosmopolitanism that emerged from postwar Paris spread throughout the western world and became enshrined through an elite who danced frenetically and euphorically, until this was interrupted by the Great Depression which brought this ephemeral and spectacular period to an end.
