How has art deco influenced society?

answers1: Art Deco is an eclectic artistic and design style that began
in Paris in the 1920s and flourished internationally throughout the
1930s, into the World War II era.The style influenced all areas of
design, including architecture and interior design, industrial design,
fashion and jewelry, as well as the visual arts such as painting,
graphic arts and film. The term "art deco" was first used widely in
1966, after an exhibition in Paris, 'Les Années 25' sub-titled Art
Deco, celebrating the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts
Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes that was the culmination of style
moderne in Paris. At its best, Art Deco represented elegance, glamour,
functionality and modernity. <br>
<br>
Art Deco's linear symmetry was a distinct departure from the flowing
asymmetrical organic curves of its predecessor style Art Nouveau; it
embraced influences from many different styles of the early 20th
century, including Neoclassical, Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism and
Futurism and drew inspiration from ancient Egyptian and Aztec forms.
Although many design movements have political or philosophical
beginnings or intentions, Art Deco was purely decorative. <br>
<br>
Art Deco experienced a decline in popularity during the late 1930s and
early 1940s, but had a resurgence during the 1960s with the first book
on the subject by Bevis Hillier in 1968 and later an exhibition
organised by him in Minneapolis in 1971. It continued with the
popularization of graphic design during the 1980s. Art Deco had a
profound influence on many later artistic styles, such as Memphis and
Pop art. <br>
<br>
Architectural examples survive in many different locations worldwide,
in countries as diverse as China (Shanghai), the UK, Latvia, Spain,
Cuba, Mexico, Indonesia, the Philippines, Argentina, Poland, Austria,
Germany, Russia, Romania, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India,
Brazil, Colombia and the United States. In New York, the Empire State
Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center are among the
largest and best-known examples
