Art Deco Paintings for Sale

Famous art-deco paintings

What is art deco? We associate this style more with fashion and design than with painting. But this does not mean those art-deco paintings do not exist. In the XXth century, all trends that arose affected almost all aspects of cultural life. Although the term “Art Deco” was not born immediately, from the very beginning this style began to be perceived as new, modern, advanced, and innovative.

In 1939, another industrial exhibition took place, this time in New York. Now we can definitely answer the question: what is considered art deco? This style aimed to show what the future could be. The art deco painting style flourished after the Second World War. At that time, humanity was experiencing a crisis, cities were destroyed, and technology was at a standstill. Therefore, art deco is also about restoring hopes for a different — better — life.

Art-deco artists

Among the most famous authors of modern art deco paintings, the following can be named: Sigmund Pollitzer, George Barbier, Charles Horner, Frank Dobson, Raymond Templier and others. The famous art deco painter George Barbier, in particular, embodied art deco canons in his paintings (for example, in “Lady with a panther”).

Art deco artists turned to exotic motifs in their work. They were inspired by Africa, Asia, ornaments and local cultures, which at the beginning of the XXth century became a discovery for Europeans. This style gravitates to multifaceted images, the use of bright colors, to luxury. Another motive is technological progress. Each author of art deco paintings tried to present his view of the future, in which machines and technology played not the least role.

How much are paintings worth? Answering this question, we can talk about two aspects: material and valuable. If the material and the financial aspect is always relative, then there is no doubt about the value aspect. Art deco painting techniques certainly had a global impact on the culture and art of the XXth century. We see examples of art deco paintings even in Hollywood movies. In addition, art deco is a style of design, furniture, fashion and jewelry that we still love.
