Art Deco: The Twentieth Century's Iconic Decorative Style
Art Deco: The Twentieth Century's Iconic Decorative Style from Paris, London and Brussels to New York, Sydney and Santa Monica
Lavishly illustrated by writer/photographer Arnold Schwartzman who has produced many books focused on Art Deco, this one truly proves the universal phenomenon of a style so rich and so popular that it found its way into cities all over the world.
"Art deco is the 20th century's most glamorous architectural style, and the one that shaped popular ideas of modern luxury. With over 200 photographs, this is a visual celebration of this very popular style. Unlike most other books on the subject that tend to be regionally specific, this book highlights Art Deco buildings from all over the world, from Australia to South America, with an emphasis on London, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Miami, and Paris. Art Deco features much careful and exacting detail, and of special interest in this book are photos that zoom in on murals, mosaics, flooring, ironwork, and other ornamental flourishes".
