ATCs: Art Deco

"Art Deco" by Diane Pineschi

Every period in history is reflected in its art. Art Deco—taking its name from the 1925 expo held in Paris, the L'Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes—is an eclectic style that reflected the industrialization, sophistication and technology of the time (1920s - 1940s).

Art Deco was the theme for the September FiberAntics Artist Trading Card [ATC] swap. In these ATCs you'll find the geometric, symmetrical and ornamental characteristics of the style depicted in architecture, fashion and literature. The style of Art Deco is still emulated today.
