Jazz Dancer Tapestries
Description: If you were looking for a genuine Cuban nightlife experience in the '80s, La Habana Club Nocturno was the place to be. Located in Miami's Little Havana, they were the hot spot for live music including everything from Afro-Cuban jazz and traditional Conga to Mambo and Mozambique. They also offered a full kitchen with a comprehensive Cuban menu and regional cocktails for a fully immersive experience.
Description: The Flapper is an illustration by Frank Xavier Leyendecker, the lesser-known of the two Leyendecker brothers, both of whom were extremely talented illustrators. The image form suggests a young lady maturing into adulthood during the jazz age with her provocative clothing and bright colors providing notional rejection of the conservative mores of behavior and dress that a 'proper' young lady of the time was supposed to adhere to. This particular piece was created as a cover for Life in 1922, but saw a resurgence in popularity as a poster in the '70s.
