Art Deco by the Sea is a major new book and exhibition examining
British coastal culture between the First and Second World Wars.
Beautifully illustrated, the book will trace how the British
seaside changed during a new age of mass tourism. It will examine
how coastal resorts developed and how the networks of transport
that serviced them - by road, rail and sea - were modernised. The
book will celebrate iconic examples of Art Deco architecture, from
hotels and apartment blocks to piers, cinemas and sea fronts and
will show how Art Deco became the key style for pleasure and
entertainment. It will also feature seaside companies including
Poole Pottery, E.K. Cole Ltd and Crysede known for their striking
modern designs. The book will also explore how the seaside changed
during the 1920s and 30s with the advent of the heathy body
culture, when sunbathing, swimming and a host of other outdoor
activities became fashionable. The development of amenities such as
lidos and golf courses changed the look of seaside resorts while
holiday camps such as Butlin's provided new types of holiday
experience. The book will feature Deco fashions and the more
ephemeral and popular culture of the seaside from theatre
performances, circuses, fairgrounds, casinos and fun fairs.
