Art Deco

Begun partly as a European reaction to the fussiness of Art Nouveau and influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, Art Deco found its fullest expression in America, where it was applied to everything from jukeboxes to diners, from radios to swimming pools, and from skyscrapers to seaside hotels. This program presents the lively history of the Art Deco style. With no founder, philosophy, or manifesto, its popularity has endured—and from the Coca Cola bottle to the London Underground’s typeface, its legacy is still visible today. A BBCW Production. (29 minutes)
