Art Deco was essentially a style <br />of decoration, and was applied to jewelry, clothing, furniture and handicrafts as well as architecture. In style between 1920 and 1940, <br />Art Deco was popularized by the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs held in Paris in 1925. It was most commonly utilized on commercial <br />or public buildings, sometimes in combination with the Gothic Revival whose verticality and sculptural decoration was ideally suited <br />to the Art Deco style. <br />Page I of 4 <br />slod6mmplatesWain N 217(Old City Hall) <br />10130/01 <br />Exhibit B <br />
