Description
Streamlined shapes, shimmering ornament, setback skyscrapers, zigzags and ziggurats - Art Deco captured the spirit of the Jazz Age from the 1920s to the 1930s and symbolized everything that was exotic and progressive about the new century. As Richard Striner explains in this entertaining sampler, Art Deco's repertoire came from divergent sources: classical antiquity, contemporary visions of machines and speed, and futuristic fantasies. The result was an energetic, truly modern way of designing everything from buildings to movie sets to table-top radios. Art Deco opens the doors into this jazzy, streamlined world by exploring the interwar era - its architecture, furnishings, fashions, arts, designers, and key buildings - all in an inviting format that brings this era back to life.
