Design Art Deco by Ann
L’Art Déco est un mouvement artistique qui commença en 1910 pour se terminer en 1939.
The Art Deco is an artistic movement that began in 1910 and ended in 1939. 


Don Linn

Ce style typiquement français succède à l’exubérance de l’Art nouveau qui était avant tout ornemental.
L’Art déco revient à la pureté des formes et se veut à la fois géométrique et décoratif. Il est extrêmement influent surtout dans l’architecture et le design, ainsi que toutes les formes d’arts plastiques (source).
Voici quelques quilts inspirés de ce courant :

This typically French style succeeds the exuberance of Art Nouveau, which was first and foremost ornamental.
The Art Deco returns to the purity of forms and is intended both geometric and decorative. It's extremely influential especially in architecture and design, as well as all forms of plastic arts.

Here are some quilts inspired by this artistic movement:

What a perfect start to your series. My town is famed for it's Art Deco theatre and exhibition centre along with several related outdoor events each year, so anything to do with that period fascinates me. And my goodness, these works certainly do! Thanks for dropping by my blog.

I had heard of the art deco movement, but had no idea what it was about or how influential it was. I cannot see the pictures as I am blind, but I'm sure they are beautiful.

Wow! Completely love this collection of Art Deco quilts. It really makes me want to make one, myself. And then to do an Art Nouveau quilt as a counter-study . . .

Beautiful quilts!
To me "Art Deco" is basically a neighborhood in Miami Beach ;-)

Happy A-Z!

I love your post about Art Deco. What a visual delight to see what you chose. My mind boggles at how much skill it must take to put even one of them together.

Quilting is something I always wanted to learn from my MIL but never did. Perhaps it's not too late to learn now. These deco designs are quite interesting. I loved the ones with the vintage girls the most! Thanks for stopping by my place today for a peak at my first edition in my A2Z Pinup Girl Sketch Series. Stay safe and healthy, my dear, and happy A2Zing!

They really are gorgeous. Quilting is a work of art and what a joy to see the many expressions.
Happy A to Z

Great Read.Never new Quilt Design was also so scientific and elaborate.
Thank you Aditya. I wanted to tell you: I can't comment on your blog posts.

Fantastic assortment of Art Deco quilts -- like a curated museum exhibit! I see a lot of Art Deco influence in the "ruler work" longarm machine quilting of the past few years, even on quilts that have very traditional or very contemporary piecing or appliqué. These geometric motifs are not as difficult to execute as free motion feathers (thanks to acrylic ruler templates that ensure smooth curves and arches and perfectly straight quilted lines), and they complement so many different aesthetic styles.
La Dame Moderne and the Door are my two favourites of the quilts above :-)

Oh goodness I made it! I am trying to play catch up today since I've had no time all week to do anything AtoZ related. I LOVED button art work! WOW WOW WOW! Amazing! Thanks for sharing these! And the denim one blew me away too!! Sorry I'm not so engaged this challenge but work/life balance is a littler crazy right now. I am looking and while I might not comment, your posts are always great to look into!
