Zigzag Pattern
A Zigzag Pattern consists of a sequence of sharp angles that form an uninterrupted jagged line as its design motif. Throughout history, the Zigzag Pattern has frequently appeared across different art forms but reached its peak popularity during the Art Deco movement from the 1920s into the 1930s. Through their artwork featuring Zigzag Patterns the artists Erté and Tamara de Lempicka popularized this design motif as a symbol of modernity and sophistication during their period. Architectural elements along with textile patterns and graphic designs benefit from the dynamic and rhythmic nature of the Zigzag Pattern. The Zigzag Pattern became popular because it effectively communicates motion and energy while enhancing visual appeal in artworks. Artists who work in contemporary art and design use the Zigzag Pattern to create pieces that display both vibrancy and style. The Zigzag Pattern stands as a timeless and adaptable design feature that artists and designers continue to use because it has moved through various artistic movements and periods to become a fundamental part of visual expression. The enduring presence of the Zigzag Pattern in art and design stems from its flexible nature and visual attractiveness.
