Art Deco Movement

The Art Deco movement, dominant in the 1920s and 1930s, is an artistic style characterized by bold geometric shapes, luxurious materials, and a sense of modern elegance. It reflects a spirit of optimism and progress, combining influences from modern technology, ancient cultures, and luxurious craftsmanship. Art Deco is seen in architecture, jewelry, fashion, and design, emphasizing symmetry, streamlined forms, and decorative details. Its aesthetic captures both glamour and innovation, representing the cultural optimism of the early 20th century and shaping iconic buildings like the Chrysler Building in New York.
