With the major Paris exhibition "Exposition internationale des Arts Décoratifs et industriels modernes" in 1925, France provided a decisive impetus for the clear, geometric forms of design. The resulting Art Deco style, named after the exhibition, quickly spread throughout Europe and emerged as a functional, almost technical counter-movement to the floral Art Nouveau style. This brooch from around 1930 perfectly reflects this zeitgeist. It is made of high-carat white gold and gleaming platinum - materials that were among the favorites of the era due to their cool sheen. The rectangular front of the brooch picks up on the classic bar brooch motif and is set with polished segments of dark blue lapis lazuli. The shiny metal surfaces in between are reminiscent of the austere, minimalist aesthetic of Kazimir Malevich. In the center of the brooch, a diamond sparkles in a carré setting set on the point. Eight small diamond roses provide additional sparkle. The brooch is particularly remarkable because it authentically captures the style of Art Deco and still conveys it today. It embodies the departure of classic modernism, which sought a harmonious combination of clear form, innovative materials and powerful colors.
