I'd say 1890s-1920s. A lot of interesting avante-garde stuff going on.. modernism! In 1913 alone you had both the Armory show in NYC which showed off the Fauvist, Cubist, and Impressionist art coming from Europe to the American audience (pretty funny to read about), and also the L'Arte dei Rumori. In 1898 the first popular Sans Serif font was produced, Akzidenz-Grotesk, and that sort of changed things. It went on to influence Miedinger's creation Helvetica. You may have heard of it. Also, in 1919 you had the opening of the Bauhaus school.
