  So, I went to see the new release of the movie, “the GreaT
  Gatsby”, based upon the 1925 novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, with my designer friends and our professor. I LOVED the movie! The set designs and fashion were fabulous. Although, I will say l was looking mostly at Leonardo DiCaprio! Oh, my goodness, he looks fabulous!








This trip to the movies comes on the heels of our research we had gathered on the Art Deco architectural style at the Bernice Bienenstock Furniture Library, High Point, NC, for a residential design project we are working on with our “clients” the Woodwards.


                                                             



The American Art Deco style began here in United States around 1925 after the Paris art exhibitions of that same year. This style came about when there was a great deal of economic turmoil. This style brought splendor and power back to the population. 







Here are a few examples of the Art Deco Style
