Art Deco – 1920- 1939
Art Deco is a style
which it is elegant for the decorative art, design and also architecture. The
Art Deco began as the Modernist reaction which was against the Art Nouveau
style. In Art Deco we see that the style has the uses of the angular,
symmetrical geometric forms. in the 1930s era we could see one
of the classical themes
that have to do
with Art Deco which was the
skyscrapers such as the New York’s Chrysler Building and also
the Empire State Building. We can also see the former architect William
Van Alen which was considered one of the world’s great Art Deco style
buildings. The Art Deco style was also called Style Moderne where in the 1920s
it had developed into the major style
which was in the Western Europe and also
in the United States
during the 1930s. The style of
Art Deco was first exhibited in the 1925 in Paris where the name was inspired
from the Exposition Internationale des
Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes.
We also can see
that the style of Art
Deco was also represented
modernism which it also
turned into the fashion. The intention of the Art Deco style
was to create elegancy which it symbolized wealth and also sophistication.
Some designers
that we see in
the Art Deco style are Edgar William Brandt, Emory Seidel,
Ernest Boiceau , Emile Ruhimann and also Reuben Haley these are just few designers that have worked with the Art Deco style.
BRONZE, PAIR OF ALTISA CANDELABRA, EMORY
SEIDEL
Here we can see some
work that Emory Seidel had done by inspiring and keeping in mind the Art Deco
style. This piece of
art was made
out of Bronze
which it is a
metal material, and
its function is a
candelabra. It is more as an
ornament but it is style a product that it is functional.

Here we can see that
the Art Deco was not only influenced by the designers who do
product design but the Art Deco was also applied on the walls as an interior
space which it gives a vibrant feel to the house.
Cubist Vase Design by Reuben Haley for
Consolidated Glass in 1928
This piece of art
which it is also functional because it is a vase that it has been designed by
Reuben Haley has a beautiful structure. This
vase has been designed in the 1927 and it has been introduced in the 1928 by
the Consolidated Lamp and Glass Company. I like
the fact of the structure
because it is
unusual and looks
modern even though it has
been designer in the 1927.
The Art Deco style is still seen nowadays because its design looks modern.
As other
styles and movements we
still can see that Art Deco
is added as well into the interior design aspect, which as a style
it make the house looks stunning and
interesting to look at. We also can find
the Art Deco style on wallpapers.
