He used Art Deco as shorthand for "Arts Decoritifs" taken from the name of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoritifs et Industriels Moderns held in Paris, France, in 1925.
Art Deco was simply known as "moderne," "modern," or "modernistic" in the 1920s and 1930s.
I prefer the name "American art moderne" since its manufacture was perfected in the United States, and to contrast it to French art moderne.

One art historian explains: "The entire three floors of MoMA's townhouse were redesigned to create an aesthetic shrine to the beauty of 'machine art.' Panels were erected and walls were encased in shining steel, copper, canvas, and linen.
As one art historian claims, "[a]lthough MoMA's curators would be a laboratory for installation experimentation during the decades following the Machine Art show, Johnson's 1934 modernist aesthetic and exhibition technique came to dominate as the standard at the Museum in later years" (Staniszewski 159).
Some even considered Machine Art to be "the beginning of the Museum's career as a household tastemaker." The art world as a whole, however, did not embrace the MoMA's approach to exhibition and installation, as Machine Art did not shatter existing notions of museum propriety (Lynes 91).

 MoMA.org | Research Resources | Philip Johnson Discussing Machine Art
For Machine Art, Johnson selected items such as typewriter carriage springs, a self-aligning ball bearing, an outboard propeller, a toaster, a cash register, pots and pans, a microscope, a compass, and scientific flasks and petrie dishes, as typifying the beautiful in industrial objects.
Johnson was the founding Chairman (1932-34) of the Museum's Department of Architecture, the first department of its kind in a museum of art.
It was about 4:00 in the morning, and the words "machine art" just came out of the air, a very, very good idea.

Art Tatum was simply a marvel at the piano keyboard, a whirlwind of creative energy who could switch suddenly from a lilting swing to runs of such speed they might levitate the piano.
This CD collects all his Decca recordings from the 1930s, 16 tracks from 1934, including alternate versions of three pieces, and four from 1937.
Tatum was both synthesis and extension of the great pianists who had preceded him, including elements of stride that would suggest James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, and Duke Ellington, but his greatest influence was unquestionably Earl Hines.

 ARC :: John Collier (1850-1934) :: Page 1 of 1
On the whole it seems wiser to regard him as an extreme instance of an artist for who art is primarily, if not exclusively the accurate - ‘truthful,’ begs the question - representation of the facts.
Extremes are always interesting, and it is true that the works of John Collier, with their tacit assertion that what are regarded as artistic qualities do not matter, deserve more respect from those who do not like them, than those of many artists who aim at artistic qualities without achieving them.
Apart from the humour of the situation - the champion of orthodoxy in art was called to account as a disturber of public taste - the possible effects of a vivid representation of homicidal violence, but the root of the objection was the representation of Clytemnestra with her bloody dagger in that form of art.

They offer supremely tasteful guided tours of the galleries and museums of Manhattan at the time when the canon of Western art, including modernism, was being secured, against a background of tension between abstraction and realism and between aestheticism and social commitment.
On a deeper level, the columns probe beneath the surface of modern art, revealing an alienation that Mumford believed symptomatic of a larger cultural disintegration.
Many of the themes Mumford addresses overlap with those of his more familiar architectural criticism: the guiding role of the past in stimulating creativity in the present, the increasing congestion of the modern metropolis, the alarming lack of human control over modern technology, and the pressing need to restore organic balance to everyday living.

This is not to be interpreted as a protest in sympathy with Rivera's work or communistic propaganda, but it is a definite protest against the indignity placed upon living artists by the arbitrary action of a corporation in destroying a work of art without previously consulting the artist.
The council deeply regrets the necessity for this action because it is in full sympathy with Mayor LaGuardia's sponsorship of a municipal art exhibition to show the work of living American artists and will be glad to support a similar exhibition anywhere else".
The society is without funds to rent space for an exhibition, which would have to be abandoned unless this offer of free space was accepted.
