What is Art Deco?

 

Art Deco is a style that spanned the boom of the roaring 1920s and the bust of the Depression-ridden 1930s. It influenced all areas of design, from the fine and decorative arts to fashion, film, photography, transport and product design.

Art Deco, has a bit of Mosaic and Cubism factors about it, because it is all about the shapes, however it isn't Cubism due to the fact that the shapes are realistic and not random which is what Cubism is. Some examples of Art Deco art work, are used in day to day life without us being aware, for example, Church Stained Glass Windows are examples of Art Deco. Also, some houses have windows that are Stained Windows and the image on the window is a piece of Art Deco.
