looking for art deco cross stitch design
Steve Siders
Hello
I am looking for an art deco counted cross stitch design. At this point
I am open to anything as the only items I have found are Frank Lloyd
Wright's stain glass designs. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tracey from Atlanta

I have a leaflet by Ginger & Spice #9402 that has about 6 art nouveau
designs -- flowers, birds, etc.
If you're not set on doing cross stitch, you might want to check out
some of the Rainbow Gallery/Jean Hilton counted thread designs. Many
of them could be considered art deco.

Barbara Thompson Designs in England has a whole line of art deco. I've
purchased several through Kay Green at The Old Bell. And I think I may
have an extra brochure; email me if you're interested.

I would love to see some Erte done in cross-stitch. I might be able to
keep a project or two for myself if I found some charts done of Erte
artwork.

While actually a modern design, Mirabilla (spelling?) designs have an
art-deco feel to them. In fact I think art deco is used to describe a
few of the designs when I browsed their Web page. Could someone supply
the URL for them???

A few art deco type designs that I've picked up are:
Deco Spirits by Mirabilia, Hours of the Day (Mucha adaptations by Donna
Brown leaflet #89 published by Imaginating PO Box 24 Kent,Ohio 44240
(216)678-6476, Amethyst and Ruby-two leaflets by Ross Originals out of
Australia but available here in the US in most cross stitch stores that
will order it if they don't have it in stock.
E-mail me if you need further info.
peace and happy stitching,
Betty

FYI--there are clear plastic graphs that you can place over any
picture to create your own graphed picture--X-stitch or (shudder)
needlepoint. X-stitch shops carry them as well as WalMart. Called
TransGraphics I think. Love mine even though they are getting old.
The only "problem" is figuring out the colors but if you have DMC's
color charts with the threads it really isn't that hard. (My husband
did a coloration of the Enterprise that way.)
Good luck,
Lin

Excuse me, but I believe Mucha is Art Nouveau, not Art Deco. Two
completely different styles. Erte would also be nouveau, not deco.

I would like to find something done by Erte, too. Did I ever tell you I met
Erte? I was present at (and signed his card) his 80th birthday. A very nice
man, tho I didn't get a chance to speak to him much.

Judy Souliotis teaches three Erte inspired designs - I have done two and
they were a blast. They are canvas designs with silks and crystal
headdresses and feathers - very striking. I can probably find an address
if you need it.

Thanks for the offer. I would love to get the address. They sound
wonderful.
I was watching a antique appraisal show on PBS this morning and a lady had
a Erte picture she bought for $15, 000 ten years ago. Too bad the market
is saturated with his work. Her painting wasen't worth anymore than she
paid for it. Guess I'll stick with a lithograph of his. I do love his
work though.
Happy stitching.

Mucha may arguably be Art Nouveau (I don't know the designs as well), but
Erte really is more Deco... his cover designs for Vogue in the 20's were
definitive of the style. Art Nouveau was earlier than Deco, dates from
the late 19th cent. -- it was very naturalistic, so you'll see lots of
flowers and animals. Lalique and Tiffany did some wonderful Nouveau
stuff... and look at William Morris's work.
Art Deco, on the other hand, was more geometric, although a lot of Deco
incorporates some nice curves. While it began to show up shortly after
1900, it peaked post-WWI -- the 1925 Paris Expo was a celebration of
French Deco, and had a lot of influence on design elsewhere -- and it even
extended into the Streamline designs of the 40's and 50's. (The
Volkswagen bug is a classic Art Deco-inspired design -- the "people's
car.") Some influential post-impressionist artists were fascinated with
primitivism, and that influence was echoed in Art Deco, too -- it's often
easy to see ancient Egyptian or native American design motifs in Deco
pieces, for example.
The emotional tone of Art Nouveau and ARt Deco are a little different, too
-- while Art Nouveau's naturalism looks a little idealistic to us, now,
Art Deco is infused with worldliness, a love of technology paired with a
fascination with primitive cultures. It's a little like comparing Gibson
Girls to flappers... next to ARt Nouveau, Art Deco looks racy and
decadent.

I would be interested in any art deco designs also so could you please post
the info? Also, I seem to remember seeing somewhere cross stitch
reproductions of opera posters. If anyone has seen any, I would appreciate
the info. Thanks.

I bow to your superior knowledge with regard to Erte; I'm not as
familiar with him as I am Mucha, who is credited with being the
originator of art nouveau.
