Art Deco
was the era of flappers, fashion, music, and politics at a
time when the stock market crashed in 1929 followed by many
years of The Great Depression. I love the geometric lines
and angles of the designs – very different from the fluid
lines of the previous Art Nouveau period (I adore this
period also). The Art Deco Era became a recognized movement
with the Exposition International des Arts Decoratifs et
Industriels Modernes that was held in Paris in 1925. The
exposition was largely dedicated to the jewelry arts.
Tamara de
Lempicka was one of the foremost painters of the Art Deco
period. Her canvas portraits of the famous socialites of
Europe is believed to have created the style now known as
Art Deco.
