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 & architecture. The term refers to a style that is classical, symmetrical, & rectilinear -- a product of influences as diverse as Art Nouveau, Cubism, the Bauhaus, & the arts of Egypt, the Orient, Africa, & the Americas. The Art Deco movement developed during the years 1908 to 1912 & reached a high point from 1925 to 1935. Even today, the style remains effective in evoking the elegance, luxury, & excitement of an earlier era. The book includes 100 full-color & archival illustrations.
