<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hispanicus, post: 2526452, member: 72626&quot;]Deacon Ray,</p><p>Your observation and comparison is spot-on.&nbsp; I would however, make a broad generalization and say that all western art is based on Greek art, which influenced Roman art. The renaissance, baroque, rococo, neo-classic and finally beaux-arts periods are all reinterpretations of the same core theme and design elements. What&#039;s different about art deco is that after WWI the overtly decorative components of Greek and Roman art were rejected and replaced with a much more abstract and restrained style. WPA represents the last gasp of reinterpreting ancient art before it was finally cast by the wayside and replaced with modernism. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would love to post examples with more detailed explanations but am at work right now and have to run off to a meeting...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
