Sullivan, power, history of architecture of the 20th century Abstract The mystery of Art Deco is in its universality. Art Deco is everywhere, including our time. It is like a symptom of a virus disease, a pandemic. But this symptom is disregarded. Its demonstration is reduced to local “strains’, the range of which is limited by national, chronological or formally stylistic borders. The article tries to consider the Art Deco phenomenon more widely and to reveal its real position in the evolution of modernism.
