Art Deco
CURATED COLLECTIONThis collection covers the decorative style that emerged after the First World War and dominated design through the 1920s and into the 1930s, visible here mainly in illustration, fashion plates and poster art. Geometric simplification, streamlined forms and bold flat colour replaced the curving naturalism of the preceding Art Nouveau period, echoing the era of ocean liners, cinema and the great exhibitions that gave the style its name. Fashion illustrators such as Louis Icart worked in this idiom, producing elegant, stylised figures for magazines and prints. The material here reflects design for a modern, mechanised, urban world.
