Ερως και χρηματιστήριο

Η περίοδοι οικονομικής ευφορίας κάνουν του ανθρώπους να νιώθουν περισσότερο ασφαλείς. Ξοδεύουν περισσότερα, ξενυχτούν, διασκεδάζουν και κυρίως ερωτεύονται ευκολότερα και συχνότερα. Είναι χαρακτηριστική η διαπίστωση ότι οι φούστες των γυναικών γίνονται πιο κοντές σε περιόδους οικονομικής ευφορίας και μακραίνουν στις υφέσεις. Η δεκαετία του 1920-1930 ήταν μια περίοδος οικονομικής ευφορίας και οι συνέπειες αυτής της ευφορίας ήταν εμφανείς στην μουσική, τη ζωγραφική, τη λογοτεχνία. Ο διάχυτος ερωτισμός στο έργο της Ταμάρα Λεμπίκα είναι χαρακτηριστικός αυτής της περιόδου.
Η οικονομική ευφορία της δεκαετίας 1920-30 διακόπηκε από το κραχ του 1929.
