The style in Decorative Arts began to move away from Art Nouveau in about 1905, reaching its summit in 1925 at the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels in Paris, which gave its abbreviated name to the style. After the exhibition many artists began experimenting with Modernism and the International Style, in which an art of luxury gave way to a more simplified approach suitable to the hard, post Stock Market crash of the thirties, enlivened however by Speed, Jazz and Streamlining.
