Everything Old is New Again in.... Art Deco

Art Deco happens to be one of my favorite styles.  There are quite a few examples of Art Deco in Buffalo, NY.  Some include: the architecture of Buffalo City Hall, decor at Hotel Lafayette, Buffalo Central Terminal, Electric Tower, etc.


What is Art Deco?
   Art Deco is a decorative style.  It was especially popular during the 1920s and 1930s.  It originated in Europe.  Art Deco is characterized by geometrical shapes, bold outlines, zig zag forms and synthetic materials.
