I missed #WorldArtDecoDay this year (unforgivable as it was the centenary as well!) but here’s my post from a different year in the other place. @artdecosocuk.bsky.social

photo of painting #1 gold frame “The diverse Art Deco style of geometric forms, modern luxury, & bold vibrant color palettes reflected the social & technological progress of the 1920s-30s. Visual artists felt its influence, as modernity impacted nearly every medium. Among these artists was the Long Island-based F. Edwin Church…. Esteemed for his portraits of women that reflected the growing Euro-American interest in Japanese art, he painted a variety of subject matter, including luxurious portraits, displaying versatility in technique. He captured beaming skin tones & ornately textured fabrics, captivating the viewer with dramatic compositions. Throughout the late 1910s-30s, Church painted various women in verdant Japanese-inspired settings. In his Girl in Yellow, c.1920, a slender woman with short dark hair confidently poses in a bright yellow dress that elegantly flows & stands out to the viewer in a composition inspired by the Japanese master Hiroshige.” Bird behind woman: Peacock

The figure of a woman holding a globe is a lamp that lights the bar at Loloan in Waterloo, Ontario. Another of the same lamp facing another direction is seen in the background further down the counter. The lamps are both in art deco style with feminine, lithe nude figurines curving toward the glowing bulbs. Photo Credit: Nancy Forde. All rights reserved. August 2019.

For #WorldArtDecoDay (making me miss Italian Village in Chicago) here are photos I made at Loloan Bar in Waterloo, Ontario, and while strolling away from Grafton Street in Dublin. Always loved #ArtDeco.

An archive photo of both connected Kinning Park Co-operative Drapery Stores and Warehouses on Bridge Street, Laurieston, in south Glasgow. The taller building was sadly demolished many years ago. Image copyright of Glasgow City Archives at The Mitchell Library.
#WorldArtDecoDay #ArtDeco Kinning Park Co-op Extension was adjacent & linked to their older now demolished store that towered higher, designed by Bruce & May. Laurieston was #Glasgow's bustling drapery district...a tight grid of streets with Bridge St its showpiece boulevard.

19/20 So nice in Nice: the 1929 Hotel Palais de la Méditerranée in #Nice, #France was built for US millionaire Frank Jay Gould. It had a casino, cocktail bar & theatre and was the epitome of a 1930s high society hotel. Oh, the glamour. #WorldArtDecoDay...

16/20 The palatial Spanish-inspired Riviera resort Hotel, Bowleaze Cove, nr #Weymouth, #Dorset. Quite a one-off. Completed in 1938 and designed by L. Stewart Smith, it was later acquired by Pontins. Was put up for sale late last year, fingers crossed...
