Art Deco was a popular international design faction from 1925 until 1939, involving the deco arts such as architecture, inner design, and manufacturing design, as well as the visual arts such as fashion, painting, the graphic arts & films. This group was, in a sense, an amalgam of many different styles and movements of the beginning 20th century, including Art Nouveau, Constructivism, Neoclassical, Cubism, Modernism, Bauhaus, and Futurism. Its fame peaked in Europe in the Roaring Twenties and continued strongly during the United States through the 1930s. Although more design movements have political or philosophical origins or intentions, Art Deco was purely decorative. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, functional, and modern.
