01 BACKGROUND
Art Deco Definition
Art Deco is a showcase of a modern society in which tastes and styles were becoming international, shared as much by the key players of the Roaring Twenties in the United States.
History
After the Universal Exposition of 1900, various French artists formed an informal collective known as, La Société des artistes décorateurs (the society of the decorator artists). These artists heavily influenced the principles of Art Deco as a whole. This society 's purpose was to demonstrate French decorative art 's leading position and evolution internationally
The style was first seen in the work of French designers who had been in experimenting and refining it for some years. Its origins are rooted in a reaction to the flowing motifs and fussiness of Art Nouveau with its emphasis on individual craftsman made pieces. After the First World War people wanted a modern, functional style for their furniture, jewellery and decorative objects. More positively, it was influenced by the streamlined designs of ocean liners and industrial machinery.
