Art Deco, like its forerunner Art Nouveau, was an eclectic style that drew inspiration from many sources. Designers borrowed from the pictorial inventions of contemporary avant-garde artists. The exciting colors and unfamiliar themes of the Ballets ruses exerted an especially strong influence. Also the powerful imagery of Africa and the arts of Asia and Pre-Columbian America provided endless sources of form and pattern. This collection of Art Deco decoration shows a style that is equally adaptable and as enjoyable now as when it was first created.
