In 1933-4, Chicago hosted a world's fair that celebrated worldwide industrial progress as well as its own centennial. The fair designers planned for a modern experience that starkly contrasted with the experience offered by the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. This slide lecture focuses on the powerful images and symbols of this fair that sought to amaze and awe visitors from around the globe. Highlights of the program include: The transatlantic crossing led by Italo Balbo; the "Sky Ride;" Buckminster Fuller's "Dymaxion Car;" modern trends in art and architecture; world's fair posters; and, of course, Sally Rand. Art Historian Jeff Mishur presents this program. Mr. Mishur is owner of Art Excursions, Inc., a company that provides private guiding in Chicago; lectures; and boutique art and culture tours in the United States.
