- Art deco has its origins in the 1925 French art exposition at Le Musee des Arts Decoratifs.
- Art Deco was not labeled as a separate category from Modernism until a 1966 retrospective on the 1925 exposition.
- Art Deco- “an architecture of ornament, geometry, energy, retrospection, optimism, color, texture, light and at times even symbolism.
- During the 1930s many public buildings were decorated in the Art Deco style, exuding nationalism through massive structures with great coloring, inspiring murals and strong sculpture reminiscent of Roman republicanism.
The new movie "The Great Gatsby" that has just came out this year is a great form of Art Deco. The interiors in the movie are just amazing. Glam and glitz are just two words that really just some up what Art Deco is.
This is a pattern that you will see throughout the Art Deco style.
The next two photos are what you will see in the movie "The Great Gatsby."
