13th Descent (1926). Joseph W. Jicha (American, 1901-1960). Poster/ invitation. Otis Litho, Cleveland.
A lithe, green reveller in a red mask and her brown partner are descending past orange and yellow shafts of light to advertise a costume ball. Colorful, bold and suggestive, this decadent Deco image provides a historical and artistic perspective on one of America’s avant-garde art clubs in the 1920s. The Kokoon Club was founded in 1912 by young artists inspired by the dadaist movement and similar avant-garde organizations in Europe.
