InventoryCollection Number: 17112Building: Central LibraryCurrent Location: Central: Café, upper seating area Floor: 1st Object DescriptionArtist: Bill McDevittArtist Nationality: AmericanObject Type: PosterDetails: A 1996 poster promoting the newly founded Kansas City Art Deco Society. Framed: Yes - GlassLength: 20 inchesWidth: 1 inchHeight: 30 inchesDescription: Bill McDevitt founded the Kansas City Art Deco Society in 1996 to "preserve the bold geometric patterns and streamlined designs that comprised the area's signature architecture in the years between the World Wars" (-Kansas City Business Journal). This particular work features a woman seated on a red velvet couch in front of a circular window encompassed in granite. The strong contrast of the grated window and the conical light fixture in the background make for an interesting juxtaposition and highlight of the building's architecture. The palette of the piece is primarily purple and red. The font of the poster delivers the Society's title, but also its essence.
