| | Art Deco exhibit at MFA is a dazzling display: 9/ 15/ 2004 |
 | | In a general atmosphere as dimly lit as an upscale Manhattan cocktail bar, with art and decorative objects dramatically spotlighted, the broad array of Art Deco furniture, textiles, ceramics, sculpture, paintings, fashion, jewelry, photography, architectural models, and metalwork tells the story of how the style originated, evolved, and flowered internationally. |
 | | 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. |
 | | Entrance to "Art Deco: 1910-1939" requires the purchase of an exhibition ticket in addition to full-price general admission ($7, plus $15 general admission for adults; $7, plus $13 general admission for seniors and students; and $7.50, and free general admission for children 7 to 17; children 6 and under are admitted free). |
