An Overview

The art deco style has always been one of my favorites. It’s an artistic and design style that covers everything from architecture and art to jewelry and fashion. Having started in Paris in the 1920’s, art deco expanded through out the world in the 1930’s and came to a close during WWII. The style brings to mind terms like ornamental, geometric, symmetrical, streamline (especially in regards to automobiles), and modernism, just to name a few. Art deco combined many different aspects from many previous 20th century styles, which includes neoclassical, constructivism, cubism, modernism, and futurism. By mixing all of this together, the art deco style was born and still lives on today.

The following video shows art deco at a glance with hints of all the different aspects of the style. Compiled by SHOW-PIX DVD Creations 2009.
