Art Deco was a popular international design movement from 1925 until 1939, affecting the decorative arts such as architecture, interior design, and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as fashion, painting, the graphic arts and film. This movement was, in a sense, a mixture of many different styles and movements of the early twentieth century. Its popularity peaked in Europe during the Roaring Twenties and continued strongly in the United States through the 1930s. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, functional, and modern.
