Jazz age // Alberta Ferretti // Pre-fall 2012

The return of the Jazz Age is upon us. Having seen only a few collections of pre fall 2012 there is one clear trend, that of the 1920's.
I absolutely loved this collection by Alberta Ferretti and thought I'd really try and create a 1920's ambience with these collages.

    “The war party began: They came in gray tailored frocks with braided edges and striped trousers and wearing soft hats, oxfords in deep black leather that shined.“

    The mysticism and religious fanaticism of the 1920’s or the Dust Bowl era has had a profound impact on the arts. Popular TV shows like HBO’s Carnivale have brought this strange time period into the mainstream. These were years marked by war, a global depression, racial hostility, and a collective search for salvation. In author Lyn LeJeune’s new book, Elijah Rising (inGroup Press, October 2011), a man’s descent into madness begins as the world goes to war. Disillusioned with his boring life in New York City, a wealthy white heir to a railroad fortune follows a black tent-fundamentalist preacher out west. Their goal is to bring God to those uncivilized and uncharted parts of America. But as they venture deeper into the unknown, it is they who may most require the grace of God. Elijah Rising is a love story filled with captivating descriptive writing, profound characters, and a learned sense of history. LeJeune has written timeless, high-end fiction for even the most discerning tastes.
    ***Note from author: Howard Zinn – greatly missed – was one of my first readers. He wrote this to me: “I read it in two sittings, became involved in the story. You write every well!” Now who wouldn’t have pursued the book to publication? It is now published by InGroup Press.
