Art Deco Prints...
Art Deco prints are a terrific alternative to original 1920s and 30s art deco posters and original artwork. The quality of prints has improved vastly and for those of us on a limited budget or with limited design space, a small good quality art deco print can still project the feeling of style and the good taste, that the art deco period symbolises.
The ever popular art deco style is an architectural and decorative-arts style, popular from 1910 to 1940.
Art deco is characterised by highly stylised natural and geometric forms and ornaments, which are usually very symmetrical. Art Deco themes were often classical motifs reduced to geometric stylisations.
Art Deco glass uses geometric patterns, bold colours, exuberant, sometimes stylised, female figures, and animal motifs. Major designers of Art Deco glass were Rene Lalique, Maurice Marinot, Daum Freres, Marius Sabino, Etling, Schneider, Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, and Francois Decorchemont.
