Right there with you on Egyptian Sampler. And I even bs-d as I went. But that bottom half has a lot of bs. sigh. On the other hand, it's easy to bs and watch something on TV that's moderately involving...
Oh, if you can draw it with a ruler and a compass it's Deco. e.g. http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/FIP/AT-00074-C~Geometric-Art-Deco-Posters.jpg
If it were Nouveau, the window arch and the cabinet she's sitting on would have a lot more fussy lines like this: http://www.johncoulthart.com/images/art_nouveau3_1.gif And the girl herself may be slightly more deshabille e.g. http://stores.czechgifts.org/catalog/The%20Art%20Nouveau%20Design%20Book.jpg
Which is rather pardoxical really given that a well-to-do young woman of the 1920s was considered properly dressed while wearing rather less fabric than her predecessor of 1895.

Date: 2009-02-01 06:07 am (UTC)I *love* Art-Deco.
I _*CANNOT*_ convince my mum that what she think is Art Deco is actually Art-Nouveau and/or earlier stuff. But that's my problem...
