1925 – 1940
Following Early Modern Era
Art deco styles include geometric shapes, curves, Egyptian zigzags, sunbursts, lightening bolts, airbrushed ray bands, motion lines, aerodynamic and streamline forms. Art Deco was often considered an “early modern” style and designs were rather simple, representing luxury and glamour.
The two images I have chosen to represent this era are both by A.M. Cassandre, believed to be the most influential designer of the Art Deco era. They are both posters promoting various events, one being an event in France and the other for a train line.
Both these designs are representative of this era as they incorporate simplicity, geometric shapes and lines, and clear fonts, which is what attracted me to these pieces.
