Synopsis
This beautiful, gift-ready oversize volume is the definitive last word in Art Deco, the most glamorous decorative arts style.
This 544-page book includes more than 1,000 color images of classic Art Deco objects and spaces. Its author is the colorful and experienced Alastair Duncan, who was for many years the expert who ran the 20th-century decorative arts department at Christie's in New York. It includes the work of all of the important Art Deco designers, from high-style French furniture makers to the creators of the popular "Streamline Moderne" style. And it is, in the spirit of Art Deco, a lavish and attractive book, as well as authoritative and thorough. This gorgeous coffee table book stands as a unique monument to Art Deco, one that every graphic designer, architect, interior designer, artist, and jeweler will want to own, display, and refer to again and again. Opinions vary as to what constitutes the best of Art Deco, whether it was the highly colorful and playful geometric style which ruled the Paris Salons in the immediate post-WWI years--the chevrons, arcs, sunbursts, maidens, fountains, floral abstractions, and ubiquitous biche (doe)--or that of the crisp angular patterns of the American modernistic impulses--including zig-zag, jazz-age, machine-age, and streamlined aesthetics, to which architects were drawn toward in the 1930s and to which its supporters believe the Deco label most appropriately applies. In the end, the argument does not matter, only the timeless designs do. Here you will find:- Furniture and interior decoration
- Sculpture
- Paintings, graphics, posters
- Bookbinding
- Glass and ceramics
- Textiles
- Metal work
- Jewelry
- And much more
