The Art Deco Movement (1919 - 1939) in architecture, art, and poster design took its name from the Decorative Arts International Exposition (Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes) of Paris in 1925. Art Deco poster artists incorporated elements and influences from Cubism, Primitivism, Futurism, Constructivism, the Bauhaus, and other modern art movements, streamlining the baroque curlicues of the Art Nouveau art movement and Belle Epoque era, while retaining an emphasis on decoration and estheticism. In Art Deco posters, we see the modern age in the making, as the result of revolutions in transportation, mass production, and popular entertainments. It is the era of the automobile, airplane, radio, and movies. An expansion of affordable vacation destinations and resorts allowed the middle class, and not just the rich, to travel. The Art Deco era begins with the end of WWI and ends with the start of WWII. Click any thumbnail to view a larger version or make a purchase.
