Does anyone know names of artists that did drawings during this time period? I need to see some womens' smiling faces and pretty hair.
Oh you have no idea how badly I need help finding this stuff!

Art Deco only or the early 20th century? Oh yes... Bahaus...yum! Or Constructivist... I would interest myself with the Soviets.

The scary Soviets? Careful, the cold war is not really over!
No, Im looking specifically for Art Deco, thats the requirement of the project and what my prof likes. Bauhaus does not excite me personally, and Soviet Constructivism is not the loveliest period in Russian art.

I don't think it was supposed to be nice and pretty... it was very much a representation of the worker class, and the rejection of the "pretty" bourgeois art deco movement. I mean can you say no to this?

Some of my Typography assignments have been likend with Bauhaus....The typography of that era was so well done and pleasing to look at.

Your appeal to my humanity is pointless.
