Lisa Schlansker Kolosek discusses the life and career of American photojournalist M. Thérèse Bonney (1894-1978) and her collection of over 4,000 photographs held at the research library of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. This extraordinary archive chronicles modern design in all its forms in 1920s and 30s Paris including international expositions and annual salon installations, interiors of private homes and public spaces, decorative arts, and architecture. The Bonney collection is one of the most important documentations of the Art Deco era that exists today.
