Art Deco

Art Deco appeared during the world war 1 in France and and influenced mostly visual arts design. This movement had elements such as geometric shapes , massively rich colors and decorative patterns as shown in the image below. The exact dates of this movement were 1925 till 1940.
This art movement was also known as the modern style.

I have found a very similar image to this in Belt Valletta and it was a poster that has the same elements that of the original Art Deco design.



I have found this image on google that shows the different types of fonts that are used by Art Deco and there million others that are similar to these type of fonts.
