# Art Deco × Beaux-Arts — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=art-deco+beaux-arts
# Art Deco carries the structure. Beaux-Arts appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Art Deco (Style, 1920s–1930s) and its accent from Beaux-Arts (Style, 1830s–1920s). Structural cues: Symmetry; Radiating lines; Stepped motifs; Gold and black. Accent cues, used sparingly: Grand axes and staircases; Synthesized classical orders; Sculptural ornament; Stone over iron structure. Composition: Centered, symmetrical composition. Type and lettering: Tall, narrow geometric display type. Let one material quality come from the second style: An iron frame inside a stone skin, interiors of marble and sculpture. Mood: Luxury, Exhilaration, Trust. Color: build on #17140f, #c8a65b, #f0e6cf with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Historical Styles, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.
# - Roughly 90 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Art Deco: Too much ornament turns theme-park. Let white space carry the dignity.
# - Beaux-Arts: Spreading classical parts evenly over every surface with no axis and no hierarchy, so nobody can tell which room is the important one.
