TEXT:		Art Deco is generally recognized as a design movement that continued on from Art Nouveau, spread and developed in Europe and the United States in the early 20th century.  It demonstrates a wide possibility of design, with jewelry being one of the areas that directly expresses the beauty of Art Deco style.  Charles Jacqueau, who was famous as a jewelry designer for Cartier, was acclaimed as “the Picasso of jewelry design” because of his detailed and unique designs.  This exhibition brings together some 185 of his sketches of jewelry design, as well as pochoirs (stencils) that highlighted fashion magazines at the time, and some 30 jewelry and accessory items by Lalique and Boucheron (designers from the same period).  Thanks to the help of the Kyoto Costume Institute, seven examples of fashion from the period designed by Paul Poiret are on display, introducing a period charged with flamboyance and futuristic images.
