First editions of this very scarce and lavishly illustrated educational course on how to design construct and arrange window displays and floor displays of men and women’s clothing during the Jazz Age. Koerber 1871-1937 was an Hungarian-American designer and amazingly successful Display Manager for the Strawbridge & Clothier Department Store in Philadelphia at their five-story edifice flagship at Market & 8th. He emphasized and promoted the use of elaborate window displays with wax mannequins often with a particular theme and these needed to be constantly refreshed by the design department. In addition he highlighted the staging of merchandise on the floor such as putting men’s ties with their multi-coloured silks drawing shoppers to the men’s department and arranging women’s undergarments silks and evening wear in prominent positions to draw women further into specified sections. This work provides technical and practical information on wooden display forms flooring how to construct mannequins draperies holiday themes floor displays how to paint backdrops and more. The hundreds of photo images of window displays and floor displays provide an invaluable historical record for marketing during the Roaring 20s as well as offering a methodology of how these could be repeated and successful for other designers. Of particular interest is the extensive section on animatronics and motorized displays filled with information on lighting automatons and creating special effects. No copies located in Worldcat.

199926915<p>Jazz Age Paris Blake Jody. Le Tumulte Noir: Modernist Art and Popular Entertainment in Jazz-Age Paris 1900-1930. University Park: Penn State Press 1999. First Printing of the First Edition. ISBN: 0271017538. A Fine tight copy in a Very Good plus dust jacket with light sunning to the spine that is common wtih this title. In Le Tumulte noir Jody Blake focuses on the impacts of African sculpture and African-American music and dance on Parisian popular entertainment and modernist art literature and performance. Blake discusses the reception of ragtime-era and jazz-age entertainment as well as other African visual and performing art forms to provide new ways of understanding the development of modernist primitivism from Matisse and Picasso to Futurism Dada Surrealism and Purism. But the influence of art nÈgre went well beyond the avant-garde art world. Starting with the cakewalk of the 1900s and culminating with the Charleston of the 1920s the book studies the African-American idioms that were involved in larger cultural social and political developments. As an illustration Blake argues that performers such as Josephine Baker and Sidney Bechet of Revue nÈgre fame were thought to affect the political balance between Africa and Europe during the colonial period. Le Tumulte noir is divided into six chronological chapters each a well-researched well-conceived and well-written synthesis of the histories of art literature music and dance.</p> Penn State Press, hardcover
