1920's Art (897 words)
Photography was a recognized art form but advertising still mainly relied on artists and illustrators to produce the high quality fl-white and color advertisements that are sought after by collectors today.
Art Deco did not originate with the Exposition; it was a major style in Europe from the early 1920s, though it did not catch on in the U.S. until about 1928.
Art Deco is characterised by use of materials such as aluminium, stainless steel, lacquer, inlaid wood, sharkskin, and zebraskin.
