Abstract:
The series of art pieces demonstrate the effects sexualization, modernization, weaponization, and industrialization had on society during the 1920s. The paintings explain main topic points of symbolism within each societal development and the impactful nature each one held. Each painting illustrates one of these social factors; the first illustrates the impact of fashion on views pertaining female sexuality. Another others portray the rise of industrialization during the 1920s. The third image depicts the increase in biological warfare usage during the 1920s. The fourth showcases the advancements of vehicles in the 1920s. Finally, the sculpture on top depicts how society is still being impacted by the same factors.
