Description: Art Deco embodied an age when there was a style to life—an age very different from the present, perhaps. A little more than two decades, and it was gone. This book, fully illustrated throughout with black-and-white and color photos, celebrates an era sure of itself in color and form and utility, an era in which many things of infinite beauty were created. This illustrated guide is a comprehensive handbook to the distinctive style of the age. It contains a wealth of information not just on the pieces created specifically to be works of art—sculpture, glass, silver and jewelry, ceramics, graphics and fine art—but also on how the style permeated through the everyday nuts and bolts of contemporary life—its architecture, furniture, textiles, lighting fixtures, and metalwork.
