Art historians generally have 1925 as the starting date of Art Deco, which is why I picked that date. Styles generally don't explode out of a vaccum, they are influenced by earlier styles. More evolution than revolution although the process can be accelerated by a group of artists such as the Impressionists who are willing to stick their necks out and suffer the slings and arrows of a public and critics still wedded to an older aesthetic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
