The streamlined, brightly colored, overlapping and repeating geometric design elements typical of Art Deco style were in many instances inspired by the movement of machines and the great industrial growth of the 1920’s.
For many Americans during the 1920’s, Art Deco symbolized the period’s optimism about the future of technology, industry, and the modern world.
Art Deco derived its name from the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs Industriels et Modernes, held in Paris to celebrate modern technological growth and innovation.
