  2. Brief History… Around the turn of the century the world was experiencing a profound increase in a growing middle class. The result of more people having more leisure time and money led to an explosion of decorative art, architecture, and fashion. Art Deco is based on the repetition of mathematical geometric shapes. It was considered to be an eclectic form of elegant and stylish modernism.
