It might best be characterised as an attempt to unite arts with industry, embracing the machine age and repudiating the old antithesis of ‘Fine’ and ‘Industrial’ art. The sources of the Art Deco movement include Egyptian and Mayan Art, Cubisim, Fauvism and Expressionism, heavily influencing the chief force underlying all Art Deco with the emphasis upon geometric patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KELETY, ALEXANDRE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47342277198060,"sku":"9576","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2614\/8594\/files\/KeletyGazelles.jpg?v=1772620094","url":"https:\/\/hickmet.com\/products\/a-kelety-gazelle-bookends-9576_01","provider":"Hickmet Fine Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
