Rooster_Ties Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) I'd heard that the design and architectural term "Art Deco" didn't really come into much use until the 1970's -- as a collective term for a stylistic grab-bag of design aesthetics in the 20's and 30's (some of them, frankly, mutually exclusive -- i.e. the "zig-zag" deco of the late 20's and early 30's, vs. the "streamline modern" of the late 30's up until WWII shut everything down, design-wise (or at least architecture-wise)). And here's the proof: "Art Deco" English search (smothing=3) Also, it appears that the term was more popular (and earlier) in America than in the UK. same search, American English vs. same search, British English Edited December 17, 2010 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
