History Main / ArtDeco

The staple style during the [[RoaringTwenties 1920s]] and [[TheGreatDepression 1930s]], with its geometrically futuristic linear design, Art Deco was applied in every field, including architecture, furniture, interior design, graphic design, fashion and typography. Its simplistic, symmetric, fluid and futuristic design was easily managed and breathable, in contrast to the frilly Victorian ArtNouveau designs. It took the world by storm after the 1925 Paris ''[[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes]]'' (although some claimed that the movement started as early as 1910), influenced by works of Romain de Tirtoff (better known as Erté), historical arts like Aztec, Egyptian and Mesopotamian, ArtNouveau, Bauhaus, Neoclassical, Futurist and other modernist style movements. And its forms went on to every World's Fair from the 20s and 30s, then spread to all over the world. Although the term ''Art Déco'' is commonly used, the term was actually coined in TheSixties during its resurgence after its popularity declined about WorldWarTwo.
