ART DECO - POST MODERN

ART DECO POST MODERN Circa 1920-1940

Austria and France

Even though Art Deco Expressions appeared before the 1920’s it was at the 1925 international exhibition in Paris that this movement was officially presented. Inspired by Cubism intensive use of geometric forms made Art Deco designs be far apart from the Art Nouveau. The Art Deco period set the bases for the moden concept of Industrial Design which reaches up to our days. This new movement gave new ideas for interior design, leaving behind the reinterpretation of period designs. Elegant proportions, exquisite detailing and ornament, the use of pure lines combining both concave and convers forms, superior craftmanship and the use of exotic materials are common characteristics of this magnificient period in the development of art and design.
