Art Deco made its formal appearance in Paris at the 1925
L'Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels
Modernes, a showcase for art, architecture, and design that
promoted progress, modernity, and the present. The greatest export
from this exhibition was a style that has since been recognized as
one of the great design movements of the 20th century. Art Deco's
growing recognition coincided with the growth of Los Angeles as the
entertainment capital. Between world wars, the city's architecture
sprouted characteristic signs of Art Deco: the interplay of
vertical and horizontal features, geometric shapes, use of exotic
and modern materials, as well as simplified streamlined forms. This
volume's marvelous collection of images celebrates Los Angeles's
Art Deco heritage, showcasing such structures as Bullock's
Wilshire, Sunset Tower, the Oviatt Penthouse, the Wiltern and
Pantages Theatres, and many, many more.
