With the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and
Industrial Arts in 1925, Art Deco seduced the world. From New York
to Paris, the press celebrated this event which permanently imposes
this universal style. Crossing the Atlantic aboard sumptuous liners
such as Ile-de-France and Normandy, main French decorators such as
Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Jean Dunand and Pierre Chareau exhibited in
department stores, from New York to Philadelphia. From Mexico to
Canada, this enthusiasm is driven by North American architects
trained at the School National Museum of Fine Arts in Paris from
the beginning of the 20th century, then at the Art Training Center
in Meudon and at the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts, two art
schools founded after the First World War world which strengthened
the links between the two continents. This book reveals a
reciprocal emulation which is illustrated in the architecture and
ornamentation of skyscrapers as well as in cinema, fashion, press,
sport... Thirty-seven texts and 350 illustrations make it possible
to discover the unique links that unite France and America, from
the Statue of Liberty by Bartholdi to the Streamline which succeeds
Art Deco. Text in French.
