Art Deco jellemzők

This volume presents a beautifully illustrated history of the Art Deco style from its early beginnings before World War I to its heydey during the 1920s and 1930s. Universally synonymous with glamour, the term "Art Deco" refers to a style that is classical, symmetrical, and rectilinear. As an international movement, it influenced entertainment, art, and popular culture - from movie palaces, apartment buildings, skyscrapers, and public works to interior furnishings, jewelry, tableware, posters, paintings, and sculptures. This informative work, complemented by 100 full-color and archival illustrations, offers an in-depth look at the twentieth century's most unique art movement.
