Dandyism and Masculinity in Art Deco Hollywood

Abstract

A dandified hero emerged in Hollywood during the late 1920s and 1930s. Contrary to most representations of aesthetes in American popular culture, this version was a masculine ideal in the highly designed universe of popular Art Deco movies. His "classlessness," coupled with his imperatives of leisure and consumption, made him a timely hero in Depression America.
