Description from the seller
Art Deco
The definitive guide to the decorative arts of the 1920s and 1930s
Author: Alastair Duncan
Publisher: Librero, 2018, hardcover with dust jacket, Dutch-language, 540 pages.
Condition is very good, no stamps or annotations, see photos.
This book is the standard work on Art Deco. Art Deco is a distinctive and unique style in art history, which in turn has influenced many movements. This art movement originated before World War I in France, after which it spread across Europe and America and greatly influenced architecture, the visual arts, and the applied arts.
Art Deco delves deeper into this art style and shows more than just the highlights from this period in art history. It gives extensive attention to the many designers, such as Maurice Dufrène and Emile Décœur, who have been inspired by the rounded and sleek, yet also graceful forms that are so characteristic of Art Deco. All of this is richly illustrated with imagery of well-known and distinctive furniture, interiors, jewelry, and visual arts. In addition to a comprehensive overview of all designers, the book also devotes much attention to the various disciplines in which Art Deco has established itself, such as ceramics, textiles, interior design, and of course the visual arts.
