The Story of Art Deco 

Yeah. That's great. It's the 2020s, let's bring it back.

I really like this style in architecture.

I really like this style and designs, they got a special nostalgic and fancy vibes to them

Such a beautiful look. Stylish, glamorous and timeless.

Art Deco is the greatest artistic movement in Western History. It has been all down hill since the "death" of Art Deco in 1950. Athoritarian Modern then took over, and went about it's murderous rampage. Post Modern has goven us some hope, but it too is far too weak to ever fully bring back the great design motifs of past centuries.

00:51 It's highly questionable (although often claimed) that Bevis Hillier coined the term Art Deco. It's a shortening of the French phrase arts décoratifs ("Decorative art") which was used already in the 1800's but was tied to the particular art style discussed here in 1925 when the exposition "Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes" took place in Paris. According to Wiki "During the 1925 Exposition, architect Le Corbusier wrote a series of articles about the exhibition for his magazine L'Esprit Nouveau, under the title '1925 EXPO. ARTS. DÉCO.'" That would be the term used right there, so to give Bevis Hillier credit for coining the term in 1968 is highly suspect at best.

This video helped me finishing an art proyect, thanks, greetings from Argentina.

Fantastic video! Music isn't overwhelming, narrative is on point, visual graphics are easy to follow. Love it!

art deco is actually a reconciliation between industry and art

What a fantastic intro to an art style i am looking into more and more myself! bravo and keep em coming!

Nice video. Well edited, short and to the point. Thanks!

Great video! Thanks for making it!

History tend to repeat its self...

Nice, high quality video!

My favorite art and architectural style.

i am all about fashion and art and decor so this really wowed me :))

thank you this video helped me a lot!!

i assure you if we were to start building in this style again we would look at our nation with more awe and respect. what are we building these days? SOULLESS CUBES! a nation is inspired by its art... why do you think they are fighting so hard to tear it down?

Art deco was electicism trying to find a voice. Only the French used a set of Art Deco elements that are distinctive from other countries´ interpretation of art deco but that purism was built on the foundation of Greco-Roman neoclassicism interpreted in the 19th century. The story of art deco is the story of humanity itself. We copy and learn from each other, and sometimes an old idea from another culture unknown to the world becomes fresh again and exerts a global impact.

Quality art deco was strikingly beautiful, in contrast to the hideous glass boxes they build today.

It is very beautiful

One of these about Art Nouveau please!

Anyone else been set this for online school? 😭🤠

Here from lana del rey's art deco

Great video!

I showed my dad Tari's symbol in Meta Runner and he said that it would be Art Deco if it was symmetrical and watching this video some of the things you mentioned show up in the series (technology boom and a thriving economy) but on the flipside the villain of the series is your typical soulless businessman showing that there's a dark side to wealth and power.

Oh yeah! I see this design in the movie Blade Runner

2.09 nice shapes

anyone else here because of online school from corona

how do you make videos like these

Is art deco a style or design period?

You should have played Gershwin's 'Rhapsody In Blue'. That is Art Deco in musical form.

So will there be an Art Deco centennial celebration in April 2025?

Art Deco is the best

For my money, the Chrysler building is the most beautiful building of all. The verticality of the building (and I suppose most art deco architecture) is interesting when you compare it to the verticality of gothic cathedrals. It's almost like a humanistic version of that original gothic verticality, perhaps. The search, not for God, but for human excellence. I really think that the Chrysler building is kind of a dialogue between modern architecture and gothic architecture. Also, at 1:18, the third poster from top left is a species of Futurism, I believe. 1:28. You know, when I see this building, my first thought is "Bauhaus." I could be off there.

2:06 features St. Petersburg's Dom Knigi, and that building is NOT an Art Deco building. It is an Art Nouveau one.

i'm like art deco world war I 1920-1930

i came here from lana del rey 😂😂

Not me writing an essay on Art Deco…

The dwarves in LOTR and other media knew their shit.

✨💫🌟💛

I know it was good for Batman cartoons

Let's make a combination of Art Deco and Modern styles.

The voice.

What’s 1:37 from?

As a kid it was extremely confusing to me why Art Deco and Art Nouveau are talked about in the same category, but now it's less confusing because I care way less.

Art deco it cute, not the best but for sure the last drop of interest for beauty that humankind had

It started long before 1925 :)

I came here for lol 😅

art deco world war I 1920 - 1930

Yeah sorry, but it didn't really come back in the 80s, Miami vice was about it...lol. Given that it was a dominant style going into the dirty 30s and its 'promise of a new, better tomorrow ' esthetic would make it particularly appropriate right now, tho. I can't wait.

The architecture of Capitalism

Fuck wolt

Art Deco: For that oligarch look.

Don't understand why Americans keep conveniently "confusing" Art Deco (which is a French style), with Streamline and post Depression design in America.
