Items related to Art Deco Architecture: Spirit of Progress
Synopsis
Until recently, scorned or ignored by many historians and commentators, Australia's Art Deco architecture of the 1920s and 1930s endures as a unique record of its time and a mirror of the hopes and aspirations of Australians in the years between the two world wars. A Spirit of Progress: Art Deco Architecture in Australia provides a valuable insight into this significant period in Australia's social, economic and artistic development.
In his travels across Australia, photographer Patrick Van Daele has captured the wealth that is Australia's Art Deco architecture. From the corporate splendours of tall office buildings to the engineering marvels of great dams and the domestic style of the home, the photographs mirror the achievement and the human aspect of the inter-war era in this country. They are illuminated by Roy Lumby's authoritative text, which describes the history and development of this important style in Australia, and the fascinating times in which it appeared.

Synopsis
Focusing on Australia's Art Deco architecture of the 1920s and 1930s, this volume provides an insight into this period in Australia's social, economic and artistic development. No architectural forms escaped the pervasive touch of Art Deco, and with the introduction of new building types which accompanied the changing lifestyles and technologies of the era, the style was the inevtiable choice. Its decorative verve and insouciant, sophisticated charm still pervade the country's urban environments, from the major cities and their suburban hinterlands through to country towns. In his travels across Australia, photographer Patrick Van Daele has captured the wealth of Australia's Art Deco architecture. Roy Lumby's text describes the history and development of the style in Australia and the times in which it appeared.
