I don't really know much about art but aren't dwarves more like brutalism?

Dwarves still have decoration, both in their craft and in their style. Braids, carving, etc. Brutalism does not have the intricate design dwarves seem to. It’s all big and blocky.

It depends a lot on your setting, obviously, but dwarves are specifically known for going above and beyond on craftsmanship.

An important distinction is this is Machine Age Art Deco. Earlier Art Deco was more like tidier Art Nouveau.

One thing I love about art deco is that it is not self-conscious. That's how you can get stuff like this:

(A beard to impress any dwarf! Also, when I first saw it I thought he was zapping the viewer with two lightning bolts but he's actually holding a compass.)

Both of these are my favorite art movements, so apparently I'm playing for both teams.
