Art Déco

The Art Deco style is so recognizable and widespread that its original impact on the culture in which it emerged has been all but lost in the clutter of imitation.

This book draws our attention back to the birth of Art Deco-a period between two devastating world wars when industrialization was flourishing, interest in archaeology was peaking, and movements such as Cubism, Constructivism, Futurism, and Modernism were turning the art world on its head. It is filled with hundreds of examples of painting, architecture, interiors, jewellery, crafts, furniture, and fashion.
