About the artwork

Discover the melancholic beauty of "Gone Glory of Art Deco", an intriguing photograph capturing the facade of a dilapidated Art Deco house. This artwork shows the elegant rectangular glass panels in white and blue, harmoniously embedded in a metal frame with mastic. The facade, though weathered by the ravages of time, still exudes the charm and style of a bygone era.

It captures the refined details of Art Deco architecture, with circular decorations here and there offering a playful contrast against the clean lines of the rectangular panels. These decorative elements provide a glimpse of the building's original splendour. At the top are some panels that can hinge like windows, a practical and aesthetic design typical of the Art Deco period.

The glass panels, some broken or cracked, tell a story of decay and neglect, but also of resilience and survival. They capture light in a way that gives the picture an almost ethereal quality, with reflections and shadows adding a sense of depth and mystery. The metal frames, with their weathered patina, add to the nostalgic mood of the whole.

"Gone Glory of Art Deco" is a perfect addition for lovers of architecture, history and art. Hang it in your living room, study or office to add a touch of vintage charm and sophistication to your space. This artwork reminds us of the transience of material beauty and invites us to appreciate the art and craftsmanship of the past. Indulge in the nostalgia and elegance of this impressive Art Deco house and cherish the stories it tells.
