Reviews

[Carolyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyable overview of the wild variety of design that is Art Deco.

[Less_cunning · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very great overview for a very broad topic. Makes for a great, informative introduction to the Novice and serves as a nice illustrated reference book for people w/ a more experienced eye. The little short historical backgrounds and the large photographs make this an easy read. The focus here is more on the Art Deco collectibles & pieces and less about what makes Art Deco, broadly speaking, "Art Deco." The division of categories makes it easier to breakdown and digest. This functions more as a reference book than a coffeetableartbook. Judith Miller is indispensable .
