Art Deco Painting

<p>Art Deco was one of the liveliest and most comprehensive of 20th century trends, embracing decorative arts, fine arts and fashion. This book looks at the least known of these - painting. The renowned art critic, Edward Lucie-Smith, analyzes the characteristics of the style, period and history of the movement, and discusses the various Art Deco painters, French, Italian, Russian, British and American. These artists, such as Tamara de Lempicka, Jean Dupas and Bernard Boutet de Monvel, were drawn to the luxury of the classical scene and the beauty of the speeding car, to the streamline of the metal skyscraper and the flesh of the rich and famous, which they portrayed in a most refreshing manner.</p>

Roberto Marquez was born in Mexico, but has spent most of his career living and working in the United States, first in Arizona, then in New Jersey. His large classical canvases combine symbols taken from history, legend and the folk arts of Mexico with a strong autobiographical element. Taken together, his qualities have led critics to see him as the natural successor to the legendary Frida Kahlo. Increasingly regarded as perhaps the most important artist to have emerged from Mexico since the generation of Kahlo and Rivera, Marquez looks set to become a key name in American art for the 21st Century.
