Canvas prints - Art Deco

Art Deco was born in Paris and exploded at the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, which gave the movement its name. Between the two world wars, the style set out its grammar: straight lines, symmetry, chevron motifs and radiant suns, gilding and bold flat colour. The poster artists of the era, led by Cassandre, turned advertising and travel into geometric compositions where speed and luxury became pure drawing. These Art Deco posters still carry that machine-age elegance that has crossed the century without ageing.

Our selection spans the full range of the style: the nocturnal New York skylines of the 1930s, cabaret with the Moulin Rouge Art Deco piece, sporting scenes treated like sculptures (tennis, golf, swimming, baseball), travel plates to Miami or Rome, and contemporary takes in the same vein, such as the vermilion and ultramarine Negroni print. Confident colour, clean shapes, instant legibility from across the room: an entrance wall, a study or a living room with character make the most of them.
