Before Class, What is Art Deco?

The name "Art Deco", in my opinion, means decorative art. Art Deco was an international movement that involved so many things, such as architecture, fashion, painting, and film just to name a few. This movement occurred during the 1920's, 1930's, and some in the 1940's. One word that can simply wrap this movement up is decorative. Geometric styles along with bold colors truly define what the artists composed of during this movement.
