The Art Deco Border and Fonts

The Art Deco Border and Fonts

Los Angeles-based architect Gordon B. Kaufmann, then the supervising architect to the Bureau of Reclamation, chose Art Deco as the overall defining design of the Dam. 

The style (and name) of Art Deco comes from the "Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs," held in Paris in the mid 1920's. The idea behind the style when it was created was "modern", combined with rich materials and fine craftsmanship — Art Deco is all about luxury, glamour, and hope for prosperity in the future.
