Art Deco yes or no?

[Cycleops]

If there was a Art Deco aeroplane I think this may be it, the DeHavilland Dragon Rapide. Some are still service today.

Yes - you can pay for a flight in one from Duxford.

And then there's this one.......

And that motivated me to find a picture of the hotel in Hatfield.....

Art Deco....lots of fairly naff stuff because it had a short shelf life betwixt edwardian decoration and bauhaus modernism..the French had it sorted, fleetingly

I would say that was Art Nouveau rather than Deco due to the flowing pattern.

Yes, very Art Deco. Not sure but the Hotel might be fifties. The original Comet, not the later one which keep falling out of the sky due to the wrong shaped windows.

Just shows how the style influences architecture today.

And, the 1930's (but not really Art-Deco) Lido, still in use at Ilkley

(there's also a push to reopen the one at Otley, a few miles east along the River Wharfe)

Plus, this pub (may be closed now??) at Gildersome

Completely derailing this thread.....here's Hathersage Lido in the Peak District, also still going strong

Not deco, I know

No it doesn't. Art Deco influenced a lot of architects in the 80s (post modernism if you like) today's architects are more influenced by later modernism, particularly Loos, Aalto, Corb etc. Every bar you go in looks like a 1958 Aalto interior. hence the reason he is a great architect, it looks fresh as a daisy 60 years on.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

It even influences animation, have a look at the Warner Brothers BatMan cartoons

They named it 'Dark Deco', very aptly too!

Guess the year?
