Vintage 1920's Mixed Media Collage - Flapper Sitting On A Paper Moon Under Stars

Description

This American Folk Art piece from the Age of Jazz (The Roaring Twenties) features a Flapper.  Women had won the right to vote in 1920, and with it the Twenties ushered in a sense of freedom and hopefulness.  The Flapper was part of the distinctive cultural period that emerged with Jazz, and redefined the modern look for American women.
The paper moon was one of the most popular studio art props in the 1910's and 1920's, and was used in countless souvenir photographs long before 1932 song first appeared in
The Great Magoo
at the end of The Great Depression.  The people in the studio photographs were not post-depression cynics but hopefuls looking forward to the future, much like the Flapper in this mixed media collage constructed with Paper, Fabric, String, Rhinestone, and Hair.
