Art Deco vs. Art Nouveau

I like purdy pitchers.

nouveau times 100

I, for one, am not going to pretend like I know what either of those two terms mean.

art deco = ugly buildings in Miami Beach
art nouveau = pretty pictures

That's okay, Unne. We all know you're an uneducated twit.

(And since I'm under the impression you don't know when I'm kidding, I'm kidding.)

Seriously though, art nouveau is gorgeous. My house is going to have that crap all over it when I'm a growed-up.

:p

From the very little I know about the subject, I'd have to say Art Deco.

Art Nouveau because of this picture. Bought a huge poster of it last year, just need a decent frame now.

That's way too low a score :cool:

I like them both, but if I really had to choose I'd have to go for Art Deco. I love those old buildings. :cat:

Art deco architecture is nice, but shows its age. Badly. It's a rather dated style that only really 'works' if you happen to be in an area that's got a lot of buildings from that era. Art nouveau, however, tends to have a bit more lasting appeal. Deco's just a bit too inorganic for my taste.

LOL BIG D IS STILL HERE
