The term "Art Déco" (actually: Art Décoratif = decorative art) has only been in use since the 1960s. It goes back to an epochal exhibition in Paris in 1925, when this style set out to "seduce the world". Typical examples of the style include the "Cristo Redentor" statue of the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro (1931) and, in architecture, the Chrysler Building in New York (1930) with its striking stainless steel spire. The painting "Tamara in the green Bugatti" by Tamara de Limpicka (1898 to 1980) is representative of painting. Art Déco was preceded by Art Nouveau in the German-speaking world; other art styles such as Bauhaus emerged in parallel. Art Nouveau and Art Deco merge into one another, for example in works by the French artist René Lalique (1860 to 1945). Both styles are not limited to the visual arts or architecture; typefaces and everyday objects are also included. However, it was Art Deco that was first dedicated to automobile design.
