EDITORS COMMENTS
Traffic Dance" is a captivating and vibrant Art Deco drawing by the Hungarian-American artist John Vassos, created in 1930. This intriguing illustration showcases Vassos' unique ability to blend the energy and excitement of the Jazz Age with the sleek and modern aesthetic of the 1930s. The drawing depicts a lively scene of dancers in various poses, seemingly frozen mid-movement against a backdrop of chaotic traffic. The dancers, dressed in fashionable Art Deco attire, exude a sense of joy and freedom as they move in harmony with the rhythm of the jazz music that permeates the air. The dynamic use of lines and angles in the drawing reflects the Futurist movement's influence on Vassos' work, adding to the sense of movement and energy. The intricate details of the cars, buses, and streetlights in the traffic scene create a stark contrast to the fluid and graceful forms of the dancers. The use of bold, contrasting colors and sharp, geometric shapes adds to the overall sense of modernity and excitement. "Traffic Dance" was likely created as an illustration for a magazine or advertisement, reflecting the cultural fascination with jazz music, dance, and the modern city during the 1930s. Vassos' skillful use of composition and color makes this drawing a standout example of the Art Deco style and a testament to the artist's talent for capturing the spirit of the era. Overall, "Traffic Dance" is a visually stunning and dynamic work of art that continues to captivate viewers with its energy, modernity, and timeless appeal.
