About this title

Synopsis

Art Deco's attraction is as magnetic today as in its earliest appearance in France, showcased eventually at the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs held in Paris in 1925. We may think we know the parameters of this avant-garde design genre, from the superb Chrysler Building to Florida's South Beach architecture to the designs inspired by Cubism and African, Aztec and Mayan art. This book, however, will surprise and delight the reader with its wealth of Art Deco designs, ranging from those that are well-known to many designs drawn from kitchenware, textiles, advertising and other sources researched by Phoebe Ann Erb in magazines, books and ephemera of the period. Their vitality, beauty, sophistication and wit are as fresh today as when first viewed by a captivated public.
