Although usually associated with the 1920s and '30s, the Art Deco
style had already begun to emerge in France prior to the First
World War. However, it was during the interwar years that the
style, reaching full maturity, would be embraced across the world
as the ultimate expression of modernity, elegance and refined
taste. Art Deco design is redolent of the Jazz Age, conjuring
images of society cocktail parties, the Charleston and Hollywood in
this great but doomed era of excess. But this was also an age that
saw momentous technological advances in engineering and
transportation, and Art Deco is a feature, too, of the streamlined
profiles of high-speed trains, ocean liners, and aircraft. Here, TV
antiques expert Eric Knowles provides a lavishly illustrated
personal narrative and guide to this most alluring and enduring of
styles.
