Art deco painting exotic character, France 1935.

Oli painting with important man and person. Art Deco period around 1935. Colony style with a very specific atmosphere of exoticism and Art Deco structure. Original condition. Used wear, some defects, please check the picture. "the contemporary cultural importance of art deco varies depending on the country concerned. It is relatively weak in France, its country of origin. It is only the counterpoint to the stripped-down modernist architecture, which was very fashionable , all social classes combined, after the Second World War. It is important in Belgium. It was present in colonial North Africa and mixes with its counterpart, the rigorous architecture of the modern movement, to constitute a heritage that it must be preserved today after decolonization. And the art deco style was very important in the history of Canada and that of the United States (with its skyscrapers marking its wealth), two countries integrating architecture from other countries , whose Western culture was refined in comparison. This is where arts deco was created and where it continued."
