The Art Deco style is so recognisable and widespread that its
original impact on the culture in which it emerged has been all but
lost in the clutter of imitation. This book draws our attention
back to the birth of Art Deco-a period between two devastating
world wars when industrialisation was flourishing, interest in
archaeology was peaking and movements such as Cubism,
Constructivism, Futurism and Modernism were turning the art world
on its head. Brilliantly designed to reflect the style it
celebrates, Art Deco is filled with hundreds of examples of
painting, architecture, interiors, jewelry, crafts, furniture and
fashion. Author Norbert Wolf traces the chronology of the Art Deco
style by looking at the politics and culture of Europe in the 1920s
and early 30s and the artistic movements that paralleled its
popularity. He follows Art Deco's influence in Europe and its
spread to the Americas and Asia. Most importantly, this
wide-ranging volume looks beyond the era of Art Deco's origination
to the present day. Pointing to the numerous revivals and
contemporary echoes in painting and even literature, this beautiful
volume demonstrates the style's lasting importance.
