Art Nouveau and Art Deco

Pre Raphaelites


Arts and Crafts Movement 


Art Nouveau 
This was the movement before Art Deco
Everything flowed as people were looking at organic design and geometric forms.
Late 19th and early 20th centary until art deco took over in 1920s
Aimed at modernising the previous style 
Darwin and Froid 
The metro in parris 
A declaration for the new art in the new century 


Art Deco 1920s - 1940s
after the 1st world war, you had the freedom to have almost anything war was over you weren't rationed.
it combined the machine age with the crafts (more mechanical)
empire state is more art deco


The music in the 1920s was swing and jazz all happy music for all the people who survived the first world war.
Technology was advancing and everyone was excited and getting on board with it.
Charabanc was a type of open top bus which was the alternative to the horse and cart.
Fashion had changed from long curved dressed to loosely fitted clothing that showed no figure and the long hair was gone it was cut to a bob. This was influenced in one way by the discovery of tu tu carmon and how the Egyptians dressed.
On one of the videos i have watched there is a gentleman measuring how much leg and arm woman had out at the beach, it wasn't acceptable to have too much skin out.

At the end of the 20s there was the wall street crash. Art deco lived through the rise and decline of the wealthy life style.

In 1925 the french held an exhibition......
