The exhibition will include objects executed in a range of materials and techniques including silver, furniture, textiles, glass and porcelain. After 1920, France experienced a last great style epoch, which reflected the changed mood of the new generation. Art Deco was dominated by a geometric language of forms influenced by Cubism and Constructivism, and, similarly to Art Nouveau, it found particular expression in interior design. Art Deco took its name from the large international decorative arts fair, the “Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes” of 1925. Art Deco was a period style in an age when artists sought to pervade all aspects of life with art. It was a worldly and ornamental art form that flourished between two world wars.
