Art Deco, emerging in the 1920s, is an artistic and design movement characterized by its luxury, geometric elegance, and use of modern materials. Inspired by diverse sources such as Ancient Egypt, Art Nouveau, and Cubist influences, it permeates architecture, decorative arts, and fashion. Artists like Tamara de Lempicka and architects like Le Corbusier contributed to this sophisticated style, marked by symmetrical forms, geometric patterns, luxurious materials like marble and ivory, and vibrant colors. The movement left a lasting mark with iconic landmarks such as the Rockefeller Center in New York, reflecting the transition between traditional styles and modernism before World War II.
