1920s Art Deco control room, Hungary

The room is spectacularly lit by natural light, pouring in from the #ArtDeco skylight.

Viewed from certain angles, the core of the skylight is reminiscent of a large all-seeing eye staring down at you. Levers, valves, switches, knobs and dials line all the wall panels

Large, sweeping, crescent-shaped control panels encircle one side of the room.

High buildings, loose morals: 100 years of Art Deco style and fashion.

Deriving from a Parisian design fair 100 years ago, "Art Deco" rose up out of the ashes of World War One, bringing confidence, prosperity, very big parties and new, instantly recognisable bold buildings.

Mélusine for #MerMay!

This hand-printed Art Deco-inspired lino block print illustrates Mélusine at her bath, spied through a keyhole. Mélusine was the legendary half-fairy ancestor of the House of Lusignan and royals including the Plantagenets, whose lower half became a serpent when she bathed. She married a nobleman but insisted he must never observe her in the bath; of course he did, and she left him. 🧵

Linocut in an Art Deco inspired style of Mélusine in her bath, spied through a keyhole. Outside the keyhole is gold with a pattern of white lines. Inside is blue with an arc at the top with the word “Mélusine” and then she sits in a round tub running her fingers through her hair with her serpent lower half spilling out.

My art history theme for the merry month of May is a color: Pink! It was my grandmother’s favorite color. For today, I offer you Portrait of Romana de la Salle, 1928, by Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980), oil on canvas, 45 ⅞ by 28 ¾ in. (116.5 by 73 cm.), photo: Sotheby’s New York, 14 November 2022. #arthistory #artdeco #lempicka #womenartists #womanartist

Excerpt from the catalogue note: “The slight tilt of Romana’s head and serpentine turn of her torso evoke the figuration of Botticelli and Raphael… while dramatic shadows employed throughout the present work allude to Lempicka's admiration of Mannerist painters. Romana’s body, anchoring the entire bottom of the picture plane and culminating with her delicate facial features at the top of the canvas, forms a triangular symmetry that mirrors the compositions of Neoclassical titans like David and Ingres… Accentuated by the ethereal draping of her pink dress, her voluminous forms defy containment by the canvas’ edges. As such, Lempicka confers the monumental power of a classical sculpture upon her wholly modern subject.”

The Royalty Cinema in Harborne (Birmingham) was opened in the 1930s. This was a golden age of cinema. At this time, musicals and epics were becoming popular and numerous grand and lavish Art Deco auditoriums were constructed around Britain at this time.

Sadly, a large fire in September 2018 destroyed the interior of this beautiful building, gutting the cinema. My photos show how beautiful it was only a year before its destruction.

Today is a special day for all architecture lovers! To celebrate #100YearsOfArtDeco, I have just uploaded a curated collection of beautiful abandoned Art Deco photographs I have captured from locations around the world👇

This year marks 100 years of #ArtDeco, a futuristic #style born in the 1920s. Even today, this global movement remains an iconic aesthetic with its bold lines, geometric patterns, and streamlined symmetry.
