Art Deco painting “PORTRAIT”
The pastel technique was a popular art form during the Art Deco movement in the 1920s. This technique is executed with pastel chalks, which are made from powdered pigments and binders. The pastel chalks are applied directly to a rough surface such as paper or cardboard.
The pastel technique creates soft, blurry lines and colors, giving the artwork a subtle, gentle appearance. During the Art Deco era, the pastel technique was often used for portraits, landscapes, and still-life scenes. Many artists used the pastel technique to create glamorous images of fashion and beauty that were characteristic of the Art Deco era.
Famous pastel artists of the Art Deco era include Tamara de Lempicka, Jean-Gabriel Domergue, and Kees van Dongen. Their works are known for their vibrant colors, sharp lines, and refined style that was typical of the Art Deco movement.
