Art deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, turns 100 years old this year. In celebration of this AN looks back at the style’s origins and its relevance today.

Art Deco is enjoying a resurgence in decor, fashion and more. A new generation is appreciating the style’s unapologetically glamorous roots and translating it into something new.

Art Deco has therefore defied easy categorisation. The term itself was not widely adopted until after 1968, when it was used by Bevis Hillier, an art historian, based on the name of the exhibition.

Robert Landau, who began photographing L.A. during the late 1960s, has a new Art Deco photo book out from Angel City Press, along with an exhibit at WeHo's Denenberg Fine Arts Gallery.
