A photographic survey of the opulent art style which arose in the 1920s traces its entire evolutionary course in every medium, in both Europe and America, to its present popularity.
Beautifully photographed, however the writing is so dry and unexciting. On reflection there such an abundance of important names dates and places this makes it an ideal starting point for someone who is looking to explore further.
Very good overview of French Art Deco, with many pictures. Focused more on people than elements of style. Unfortunately not much on Art Deco beyond France.
