	Chapter Excerpt: Art Deco: 1910 - 1939 by Charlotte Benton, Tim Benton and Ghislaine Wood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		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.

		Not until the 1960's was the term "Art Deco" coined to describe the style that swept the world in the booming 1920's, continuing on into the Depression until the mid-1930's.
		While some painters (Léger, Lempicka) and sculptors (Brancusi) both inspired Art Deco and were influenced by similar sources and ideas, this was primarily a decorative style, one expressed in architecture, interiors, furnishings, housewares, fashion, and film.
		Preceded by turn-of-the-century Art Nouveau, Art Deco rejected the elaborate, rococo look of its forebear, instead reaching for a simplified, sleek, streamlined look that reflected the advancing mechanization of the age and an optimistic world view characterized by progress, speed, and glamour.

		For in spite of the seeming neglect into which Croce has fallen, his theory of art as expression is still widely, though unwittingly, held, even by those who reject the notion of art for art's sake.
		...If art is the imaginative expression of emotion, it is an activity which is different in kind from other modes of human activity, and it has no relation to craft or technique Nor has it anything to do with representation or amusement...
		...But if art is the expression of emotion, it is a purely inward, spontaneous, imaginative activity, complete when the emotion is felt by anyone to have achieved satisfactory clarification or intelligibility...
