about the art deco style…
art deco, short for the french term arts décoratifs, and sometimes simply called déco, is a style of visual arts, architecture and product design, which first appeared in france in the 1910s (just before world war i) and flourished especially in the united states, but also in europe, during the 1920s and 1930s. Art deco combined modern styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. During its heyday, it represented luxury, glamour, exuberance and faith in social and technological progress. From its beginnings, art deco was influenced by the bold geometric forms of cubism and the vienna secession; the bright colors of fauvism and russian ballets; the updated craftsmanship of furniture from the periods of louis xvi and louis philippe i; and the exotic styles of china, japan, india, persia, ancient egypt, and mayan art. It featured rare and expensive materials, such as ebony and ivory, and exquisite craftsmanship. The empire state building, the chrysler building, and other new york city skyscrapers built during the 1920s and 1930s are monuments to the style.
