Art Deco PrintsScroll down for original Art Deco prints at bargain prices..... Art Deco prints, both originals and reproductions, are fabulous to collect and a great way to decorate your home. The 1920s in particular represented the final flowering of the lithographic art, particularly in the realm of Fashion illustration, where the high quality stencil lithograph (or pochoir) was widely used. Due to the developments in printing techniques the magazines, catalogues and books of the Art Deco era contain some of the most beautiful prints ever produced. Later in the century printing became more mechanized, the quality of paper became cheaper and magazine printing quality deteriorated. The advent of photography also meant that artist produced images were a thing of the past. But the quality of the prints contained in magazines, catalogues and books of the Art Deco era often means that these are now sold as individual pages and there is still a large quantity of collectable and affordable images available. With better printing methods and more colours available, advertising was big business in the 1920s and 1930s and the advert and the poster became major expressions of the artists' and designers' art. Advertisements for foods, cigarettes, cosmetics,
travel,
shipping,
automobiles, railways, sports,
theatre,
movies and much more would appear as large posters and also in the magazines of the day. These are also widely collected as
originals
or as
reproductions.
