The Art Deco movement started in the 1920's and was more prominent in the 1930's. It was first exhibited at the French Exhibition of Glasswear and then became a mainstream sensation in America and Great Britian. America at the time had an obsession with speed whicch then further developed Art Deco into a more streamline and aerodynamic form. Alot of the architecture was inspired by this movement because of the organic forms and was used for more of a aesthetic choice. Art Deco drew most of its inspiration from the ancient Egyptians and Aztec forms, this was mainly a decorative movement unlike most art movement which are political or philosophically driven.
This poster is a perfect example of Art Deco, the geometric shapes used to create images, the use of flat colours but at the same time using different shades of said colour to create a gradient or a shade on the image. Alot of bright colours are used in Art Deco based posters and art pieces, as the reason is to attract and draw the viewers eye into the piece of art.
This is an original poster from the 1930's inspired by Art Deco
