Answer 1

the predominant art movement in the united states in the 1920's was art deco. art deco examples today can be seen in architecture and jewelry still surviving from the period. other art movements of the time were the bauhaus movement and dada movement,both influenced by the european schools of art in europe. much of art in the united states of the time was influenced by art in europe because it followed a major european wave of immigration in the early twentieth century. i hope this is enough information. the links below will help you flesh out your report.

THE ROARING TWENTIES
The following text is from the 1920s Celebrate the Century stamp sheet.

"Two Constitutional amendments went into effect in 1920, turning the nation upside down. The 18th Amendment prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, and the 19th gave women the right to vote. A federal highway system was organized, and the number of automobiles nearly tripled. Spreading electrification spawned the golden age of radio.

"The Roaring Twenties, as the decade came to be known, was an age of thrill seekers and heroes. In 1926, Gertrude Ederle swam the English Channel faster than any man had. The following year, Charles Lindbergh flew nonstop across the Atlantic alone and Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs.

"The first feature-length film with talking parts, The Jazz Singer, appeared in 1927, and the first Academy Awards were presented in 1929. The prosperous times ended with the stock market crash of Thursday, October 24, 1929. Many new words -- such as motel, robot, fan mail, and teenage -- became part of the American lexicon.
