Egyptian Theatre (Hollywood, CA)
Learn about “Streamline Moderne,” one of the major design styles of the 1930s, and then watch Lost Horizon, a gorgeous example of the style in film. “Streamline Moderne” was influenced by the new science of aerodynamics that emerged in the early 1930s. First created as a means to enhance the performance of aircraft, Streamlining was embraced by industrial designers and architects and incorporated into the design of everything from cars to architecture and appliances due to its elegant look. Join John Thomas, President of the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles, as he presents an illustrated talk on the influence and variety of the Streamline Moderne design. Then watch Lost Horizon, one of many movies where the art direction and set design embraced the new style, representing Shangri-La in high “Streamline Moderne” style. Lost Horizon, Director Frank Capra’s adaptation of James Hilton’s novel, combines edge-of-your-seat adventure with an exploration of what it means to be at peace with oneself as Ronald Colman finds love and spiritual harmony in the Himalayan mountains.
