Art Deco

After the 1900 World's Fair in Paris, a number of French artists formed an informal collective called La Société des artistes décorateurs (Association of Decorative Designers). Some of the founders were well-known Art Nouveau artists such as Hector Guimard and Eugène Grasset. The aim was to show the leading position and development of French decorative arts to the international world. In 1925 they organized the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, from which the art historian Bevis Hillier derived the term 'art deco' in 1968 with the book Art Deco of the 20s and 30s.

This world exhibition was the first in which artistic innovation was included as a condition in the regulations, which led to a variety of new stylistic elements. A new kind of eclecticism also emerged, combining characteristics of different styles and movements, such as expressionism, cubism, modernism and functionalism. As a result, it can happen that a glass vase, a bronze work and a dining room furniture can all be classified as art deco, and at the same time have no external style feature in common.
