Art Deco - Treasures of The New York Public Library

Art Deco captured the mood of 1920s and 1930s modernism, an age of jazz and streamlined machinery, with designs that are colorful, geometric, and filled with an intense rhythm. Watch as curators from The New York Public Library showcase Art Deco prints from the Art & Architecture Division's collections.

@StoicTwo Like everything in America, Art Deco was borrowed, but they made a fantastic job of using it in some stunning buildings. America (via Wales) gave the world the brilliance of Frank Lloyd Wright,one of the worlds greatest architects.

@rockchick80s mackintosh was art deco. His designs were linear as opposed to the flamboyant curves of art nouveau. Both fantastic styles though!

Not a particular FAVE Movement of mines. But got a beautiful Art Deco Book for a Christmas Present. Some of the Paintings, Architecutre and Ornaments are Beautiful. I was surprised Charles Rennie MacKintosh was cited - I consider him Art Nouveau. Very interesting Post.
