The Art Deco style of the early 1930s can be seen as domesticated
Cubism. As with cubist paintings, the elements of design were
reduced to their minimal essence and applied to everyday items for
public consumption. Here Bakelite plastic jewelry and boxes are
studied as reflections of this style. The book is a visual garden
of Deco design, with hundreds of items photographed in color and
described with their useful purposes, materials, and current
values. Bakelite is collected because it is different and fun. This
book is important because it demonstrates how the new Art Deco
style provided the Depression-ridden world with color and style in
a form most people could afford.
