'Theatre' takes its influence from the deco period with its various forms of elegant and stylish modernism and demonstrates how the abstract is able to soften the mathematical and geometric shapes into equally lavish, but more dreamlike and illusory images.
These are images of the machine age where streamline curves and man-made materials such as glass and stainless steal sat squarely with romantic abandon and the decadent enjoyment of the new world and new technologies in aviation, radio and electric light. An age of the cruise liner, the sky scraper, cinema and dance.
