Is Art Decco similar to Art Deco?馃槀馃槀

@Dlrannie You mean similar to Art Nouveau? I think the latter has longer, more stylized lines I would have to place the two forms side by side for comparison, Also I think Art Decco is more incorporated into architectural styles rather than one- dimensional artistic styles. An arts professional would be more qualified to explain the two different forms.

@Grateful4you I think you must have misunderstood my reply - the style is known as Art Deco not Art Decco 馃槀馃槀馃槀馃槀

@Dlrannie Thanks for the clarification and the affirmation of my being an idiot.

@Dlrannie Since you know the spelling, can you explain the difference between the two styles? Thanks.

@Grateful4you Broadly speaking Art Nouveau is from 1890 to 1910 and takes its cues from flowers and the natural world. Art Deco on the other hand is from the 1920/30鈥檚 and takes it鈥檚 cues from the industrial and geometric world. That being said there can be some degree of crossover between them 馃檪馃檪

@Dlrannie I had a vague idea of the two but that more clearly defines them, I love visiting many of the old buildings in Los Angeles where there are some beautiful examples. Some of the theatres were more like ornate hotels than simply a theatre. Some have been beautifully restored. One example is the Bradbury Building that has been used for movie sets. Lot's of ornate wrought Iron and beautiful woods.

@Dlrannie Sadly, much of the Inner city is over-run with homeless it's not the fun destination it used to be. I feel badly for the folks living there although many of them seem to be okay with the circumstances.
