1950s design

the comparison between the abstract expressionism in america and the communist looking russian art.
the housing is very retro so to speak had hints of jazz and was very colourful.
americas association with britain
-cottages
-tea
-fields
-floral patterns
we sold america the look of being british.
britain was on a rationed diet at the time and not only that the supplies were rationed as well. thus not allowing us to print the floral look of britain at the time. so what ever materials we got hold of we printed floral and gave it that british look to export for cash during the war. so after the war we threw all that out because it reminded people of the war and of worse times, plus people got bored of it because they weren't doing it for fun during the war they were doing it to survive.
after the war there was major technological advances in everything art, machinery etc.
