Published on the 100th anniversary of the discovery of
Tutankhamun’s tomb and the 200th anniversary of the deciphering
of the Rosetta stone, this book responds to the ever-growing
enthusiasm and curiosity for Egyptomania. This concept refers to a
collective imagination which was nurtured throughout the 19th and
20th centuries by archaeological digs and exploratory trips. These
key discoveries were crucial for creation and particularly for the
Art Deco artists who found their inspiration in Egyptian lines and
patterns. Art Déco & Egyptomanie explores the origins and
functioning of this cultural and artistic movement shaped by many
fields: architecture, cinema, sculpture, popular art, theatre and
fashion. Art Déco & Egyptomanie comes with an explicit and
previously unseen iconography. Text in French.
