  Chapter Excerpt: Art Deco: 1910 - 1939 by Charlotte Benton, Tim Benton and Ghislaine Wood   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Art Deco is the name given to the 'modern', but not Modernist, twentieth-century style that came to worldwide prominence in the inter-war years and left its mark on nearly every visual medium, from fine art, architecture and interior design, to fashion and textiles, film and photography.
In contrast to Art Nouveau, Art Deco was not permeated by a belief in the redemptive value of art; nevertheless it was, to a large extent, premised on the notion that modern artistic ideas could be used to palliate — even 'streamline' — the interface between the consumer and the workings of the market-place.
Art Deco is a complex style, but as this book shows, it is by no means resistant to conventional methods of categorization and interpretation, despite the difficulties posed by its formal eclecticism and the variety of genres it encompassed.

 Art in America: Japanese Modern Art/Painting from 1910 to 1970. - Review - book review
Japanese Modern Art: Painting from 1910 to 1970 is based on the German-only catalogue for an exhibition presented in Chemnitz and Frankfurt in 1999-2000.
She asserts that, by the 18th century at the latest, "thinking in non-representational images" was recognized as an option in a wide range of Japanese visual art including painting, calligraphy and architecture, as well as such applied arts as lacquerware.
And one might also wonder why, in a book about modern painting, the cover art is a wooden relief (painted, but does that make it a painting?) and nearly a third of the plates present one artist's series of etchings.

In addition, developments in the fine arts during the first decades of the 20th century, principally explorations of abstraction in such movements as Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, de Stijl and Neo-Plasticism, offered aesthetic advances that strongly influenced Art Deco's stylistic evolution.

 Mondera - Learn - Art Deco
The Exposition of Decorative Arts and Modern Manufacturers in 1925 Paris gave the movement its name; the grudging alliance between art and industry began, with the mutual challenge of producing quality designs that could be mass-produced.
The early Deco period of 1909-1925, aptly called Art Deco, was graceful and feminine, with formalized floral designs that borrowed the radical chic of Art Nouveau's free flowing curves and naturalistic motifs; but, it made them more austere with precise curves and ovals, and starkly formalized floral representations.
The carry-over Oriental influence of Art Nouveau was evident in the continued popularity of enameling, especially Cloisonné enameling in red and fl.

In front of 856 Market Street is the Albert S. Samuels Clock that Samuels and Joseph Mayer created in 1910 to stand across the street in front of the Samuels Jewelry shop (Woodbridge and Woodbridge 1992: 9).
Most of the piece is devoted to explaining the design's "atmosphere" and the sensations it was calculated to generate: "sadness modified by the feeling that beauty has a soothing influence." Shortly before the Palace was constructed, he told William Gray Purcell: "You cannot produce a living architecture as a system of applied logic.
Perhaps because all these architects had undergone the disciplines of the Beaux Arts movement, the Exposition evoked a spirit of inventiveness within the scope of the classical medium, and thus achieved a feeling of architectural unity throughout.

 Philadelphia Museum of Art
In 1937, in order to purge German museums of their holdings of "degenerate" art, Joseph Goebbels, Minister for Propaganda and Public Enlightenment, charged a commission headed by Adolf Ziegler, one of Hitler's favorite artists, with the seizure of works of German "degenerate" art created since 1910 owned by German state, provincial and municipal museums.
The confiscated art was gathered in a huge exhibition in Munich to educate the German people about the "evils" of modern art, and especially its alleged Jewish/Bolshevist influences.
Tragically, those artworks deemed unsaleable (the "dregs", as Goebbels called them), almost five thousand paintings and works of art on paper, were probably destroyed in a bonfire in the courtyard of the Berlin central fire station in 1939 as a fire department training exercise.

Art Deco started as a reaction against the excesses of Art Nouveau with its tendrils and elaborate swirling motifs.
At the same time, Art Deco reveled in an exuberance that culminated in skyscrapers like the Chrysler Building and the Rockefeller Center (represented by the original architectural model) to the neo-Egyptian, neo-Moorish, neo-Mayan movie palaces that popped up in even small-town America in the 1920s and '30s.
In the 1930s, Art Deco became a truly global style, permeating every level of design and spread by visions of fanciful interiors constructed on Hollywood back lots for movies like Grand Hotel and the extravaganzas of Busby Berkeley.
