What is Art Deco?

Its name was coined from the 1925 Paris France Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs Industriels et Modernes. Art Deco takes its inspiration from aspects of Cubism, constructivism (mainly a Russian movement ) and Futurism (mainly an Italian movement). Its geometric, often overlapping shapes and simplification celebrate and mimic the growing mechanization of industry and its new techniques, reflected in overlapping and repetitive images and with later developments of smooth, sleek forms paying homage to the newly discovered science of aerodynamics in the 1930s.
