Art Deco vs. Gothic

[Virgil the Roman]

Am I the only one who noticed a similarity in style and architecture, between these two nice styles?

 

[Memento Mori]

yeah

jk - haven't heard of Art Deco until now

 

[Virgil the Roman]

Ah. Art Deco was fashionable in the 1920's-30's; Gothic, circa 800 A.D.-1400 A.D.

 

[Memento Mori]

I love gothic. Not sure about this Art Deco from the pictures I'm looking at. Anything's better than minimalist though. I hate modern architecture. There are some minimalist churches nearby that are just butt-ugly.

 

[Virgil the Roman]

Agreed.

I think Art Deco is based on geometry. You might want to look up its infuences.

I love Picasso, he embraced so many different styles, and he was a sculptor.

Blue period:

Cubism:

Abstract:

Sculpture:

Not until you said it.
But I guess you're right.

You have no idea how exited I was to see this topic, Art Deco has been an obsession of mine for the past 24 hours. I'm wearing my Art deco style crucifix now.

My new favorite artist is Tamara de Lempicka. I like how she takes traditional renascence subjects and puts an Art Deco spin on them.

I'll get my camera and post a better picture tomorrow.
Until then, good night.

Ummm... well, no, not at all. I grew up in Miami, hanging out in the Art Deco district on the Beach and I quite frankly see very little similarity between them. Architecturally they are as disparate as are Baroque and New Wave music.

I was going to mention Miami with all its Art Deco.

I think Cubism and Art Deco are similiar. Art Deco is based on Geometry, and in Cubism it is inherent.

Actually there seems to be parallels with the Victorian styles (not sure what that artistic movement is called) - the style which preceded Art Deco. Are you sure that's not what you mean? Cause I can't see any similarities with Art Deco and Gothic. They're quite opposite.

Noveau's the art you're after.

 

[2Cosmic2Charlie]

Are you the only person who sees a simularity ?

Speaking for me at least

yes.

I do enjoy Art Nouveau, albeit not as much as Deco.
