## One decorative language, different compositions

Stepped silhouettes, radiating geometry and streamlined forms give these examples their Art Deco character. The theatre-facade variant turns the landscape’s decorative geometry into a vertical architectural composition. Art Deco spans many objects and materials; black and gold are a choice in these examples, not a requirement of the movement.

## Variation: Theatre facade

A stepped theatre facade replaces the landscape, bringing vertical setbacks, a sweeping canopy and radiating geometry into a black, cream and gold poster composition.

A front-facing vertical facade and broad canopy replace the parent landscape’s distant mountains and lake; stepped geometry and radiating forms remain the defining language.
