Art Déco
Art Deco is an artistic and design movement that emerged in the 1920s and reached its peak in the 1930s. It takes its name from the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts held in Paris in 1925. Art Deco was born as a reaction against the organic aesthetic of Art Nouveau and was influenced by artistic and cultural movements of the time, such as Cubism, Futurism, and Egyptomania. This movement is characterized by an elegant, geometric, and ornamental style, with abstract geometric forms, straight lines, repetitive geometric patterns, and the use of precious materials. Art Deco artists and designers sought to create luxurious works of art and interior spaces, using materials such as ivory, ebony, marble, stained glass, brass, and chrome. One of the prominent figures associated with Art Deco is Louis Comfort Tiffany, an American artist renowned for his work in glass and design. He is famous for his creations of colorful glass lamps, stained glass windows, and decorative art objects.
