The Art Deco movement was championed in 1925 as a mission to embrace modernism, decorativism and globalism into a collective creative force and harness the artistic talent that had converged on Paris after WW1. A comparable influential trajectory had occured in 1919 when Walter Gropius established the Bauhaus School with the bold objective of merging architecture, sculpture and painting into a single creative expression to develop a utopian craft guild of artists.

The International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts (which was the genesis of the term Art Deco) became the focus for this style upheaval and a new design aesthetic emerged replete with references to fashion, finesse, glamour and elegance. The streamlined designs introduced in this era inspired sleeker lines which also appeared in architecture and fashion. According to Erte, Art Deco became a “confluence of Cubism and Art Nouveau.” The unpredictable Cubist abstractions and their fluid perspective had a more refined fusion which became tempered by the harmonious undulations of nature. Erte’s art defined an era of sophistication and luxury combined with a sublime balance and flambouyant fashion exploration to promote a contemporary freedom of expression. Jean Dupas was also one of the adventurous designer artists in the 30s with his fascinating synthesis of Surrrealism, Art Nouveau, Neo Classical and Art Deco. It was an unparralled era for the integration of so many new Art movements into a formidable innovative design front.
