Forrest’s Reviews > Art Deco > Status Update

I've liked Art Deco for a long, long time, but am somehow constantly amazed by the influence of the arts of Africa, Asia, and South and Central America on the art of that time. You can argue whether colonialism robbed the artistic traditions of these areas or paid homage to them, but you can't argue that European and American artists were not heavily influenced by those traditions at that time.
