By the 20th century the art of decoration became what is now know as the art deco genre, becoming a very strong influence on architecture, fashion, the visual arts as well as design. The term âart deco' was conceived from an exhibition that took place in Paris, France. This exhibition was named the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in the year 1925.
While the art Deco term comes from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, it was not mainly used only until the late 1960s. Mostly because pre- World War I Europe had an effect upon the art world. This movement still managed to touch many areas of the art world. Much of the industry was experiencing similar shifts, including technology, the photograph and other forms of fine art emulation.
The art deco movement happen to really intrigue most of the admiring public. It was something different that brought about advances in technology and social interest groups earlier during the 21st century. While this art deco culture reacted to these ever growing changing times, the art deco art genre was still a part of the culture.
When you think of art deco, you mostly attribute eclectic type of decoration and modern design. This is mostly influenced by different types of artists and various art forms. Furniture, clocks, glasswork, metalwork, and screens as well as many other types of fine art pieces.
