Art deco

Art deco, or deco, is an eclectic artistic and design style that began in Paris in the 1920s and flourished internationally throughout the 1930s and into the World War II era. The structure of Art Deco is based on mathematical geometric shapes. Art deco experienced a decline in popularity during the late 1930s and early 1940s, but had a resurgence during the 1960s
Founders included Hector Guimard, Eugène Grasset, Raoul Lachenal, Paul Bellot, Maurice Dufrêne, and Emile Decoeur
