SynopsisArt Deco refers to a style that is classical, symmetrical, and rectilinear--a product of influences as diverse as Art Nouveau, Cubism, the Bauhaus, and the arts of Egypt, the Orient, Africa, and the Americas and has had an astonishing impact on the world of modern design, influencing the styles of everything from fine art through buildings and household objects. This illuminating volume presents a beautifully illustrated history of the Art Deco style, from its early influences to the international heyday of Deco design in art and architecture during the 1920s and 1930s. This informative work offers an in-depth look at this century's most unique art movement with 100 full-color and archival illustrations., "Art Deco" refers to a style that is classical, symmetrical, and rectilinear--a product of influences as diverse as Art Nouveau, Cubism, the Bauhaus, and the arts of Egypt, the Orient, Africa, and the Americas and has had an astonishing impact on the world of modern design, influencing the styles of everything from fine art through buildings and household objects.

Could have been better
Pictures are great, but the writing is sub-par. For example, the author frequently uses flowery language such as "soon after" or "within a few years" instead of giving actual dates, where this information would be helpful. A lot of things are repeated throughout with only subtle variation. Finally, the author describes many various items/artworks without providing a picture of them, which is very frustrating, as I cannot learn from my imagination.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
