ART DECO The European Style

Sarah Morgan describes the rich mix of influences that gave rise to Art Deco 's elaborate style, including the lavishly elitist Art Nouveau, ancient Egyptian and Aztec art, and Diaghilev's Russian ballet, as well as radical contemporary art movements such as Futurism and the Bauhaus. This revolutionary element can be seen in the spare, dynamic, geometric shapes of architecture, furniture and fashion alike which together with rich colors and combinations of different materials, constitute the unique Deco Style. With over 250 color and black and white illustrations and a readable and authoritative text, forms an invaluable and lively introduction to the last truly sumptuous European style. Out of Print.
