The dove, a universal symbol of peace and purity, found a new expression in Art Deco, an artistic movement that fascinated the world with its geometric lines, bright colors and stylized shapes.

In Art Deco, the dove is often depicted in a stylized manner, with particular attention to geometric shapes and sinuous lines. The wings can be stylized in the shape of a fan or sun rays, while the body can take on more square or rounded shapes.

The dove is often represented in a stylized way, with clean lines and geometric shapes. In addition to peace, the dove can symbolize freedom, love and hope.

In the interwar years, there was a strong desire for peace and harmony, and the dove, a symbol with positive and universal meaning recognized throughout the world, perfectly represented these ideals.
