[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When World War I ended, all of Europe (and France in particular) went through a period of great struggle and economic instability. However, the French, with joie de vivre written in their DNA, refused to let their good spirits die. In 1925, they decided to put contemporary art into the spotlight and celebrate it in all of its forms. They organized a World\u2019s fair called Exposition Internationale des Arts D\u00e9coratifs et Industriels Modernes. The modern style of that time didn\u2019t have a name yet, but it got one right after this exposition \u2013 Art Deco.

It was everywhere \u2013 in graphic, furniture, product, jewelry, textile, car and interior design, as well as architecture and other decorative arts. Art Deco design represented a symbiosis of rich materials and outstanding craftsmanship. As a result, we saw the birth of riveting modernist forms that exuded luxury and opulence – two of Art Deco\u2019s main characteristics.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]After World War II, the supremacy of Art Deco began giving way to simpler, less decorative forms. However, there aren\u2019t that many styles that have left such an indelible and ever-lasting impact on creatives as Art Deco<\/strong>. That is largely due to its versatility and the fact that it unites lots of different styles, including cubism, futurism, and secession. The brighter view of the future that inspired the French to organize the Exposition Internationale in the first place was evident in the works of this era<\/strong>. Abstract and geometrical themes, the motif of the sunrise, lots of triangular shapes, zigzag details, and vivid and golden colors are all elements typical of Art Deco design. They may seem contradictory at times, but together, they form a cohesive unit that looks rich and beautiful. And in the end, that was all that mattered.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]On this picturesque journey, we\u2019ll explore the history of Art Deco and its use throughout various forms of art. We\u2019ll also talk about some of the most prominent creators of Art Deco whose works have undoubtedly left a mark on the art world:
