Within the West, art deco lost its steam around the Second World War, but continued to be employed {all of the} way into the 1960s in colonial countries including India, where it served as a gateway to Modernism. Then inside the 1980s art deco created a comeback in graphic design. Art deco’s association with 1930s film noir led to its use in both fashion and jewelry ads.

Currently art deco is revered by quite a few and dismissed as old news and overly gaudy by {other people}. {Although} it undoubtedly played a key role in art history, as with most art, individual taste frames the individual’s interpretation and like or dislike of art deco styles.
