jan 24, 1910 - Art Deco

Description:

Art Deco is a stylish design movement from the 1920s and 30s characterized by bold geometric shapes, strong lines, symmetrical compositions, and a streamlined, elegant, and optimistic aesthetic that celebrated modernism, glamour, and technological progress. Optimism, new technologies, consumerism, and urban dynamism emerged after World War I. It promoted the idea that modern advancements and mass production could lead to a beautiful, prosperous future, and it helped establish a new international design language that made decorative art accessible to a wider audience through a blend of craftsmanship and machine-age practicality.
