Art Deco evolved from the Art Nouveau movement at the end of the 19th century. Art Nouveau was an art style pursued by the middle class in Europe and America (mainly in Europe) at that time. Its main feature was the beautiful lines of the sensual nature, called organic lines.
The Art Deco style is most evident in commercial buildings, movie theaters and stores, and its modern style fits well with some corporate images. The roofs of early Art Deco buildings were often shaped like steps. The white facades are usually decorated with bright glazed tiles, and the doors are heavy and powerful, with stylized Egyptian or classical detailing.
