Description

Art deco—the way of the flapper, the luxurious ocean liner, and the skyscraper—came to epitomize the glamour, luxury, and hedonism of the Jazz Age. It burst onto the world stage on the 1925 Exposition internationale des art decoratifs et industriels modernes in Paris and quickly swept the globe. Its influence used to be felt in every single place, from the skylines of New York and Shanghai to the design of fashionable eveningwear, jewelry, and plastic radios. Above all, it become the way of the pleasure palaces of the age—hotels, nightclubs, and movie theaters. This authoritative publication brings together leading experts within the field to explore the sources, varied kinds of expression, distinct visual language, and global reach of deco. With its breathtaking illustrations, this lavish volume is the defi nitive book on what is, arguably, the preferred style of the twentieth century.
