Nestled among the posters and paintings, sculpture, objets d'art and jewellery assert their similarity, whether through line, form or theme. This beautifully illustrated book is a celebration of Art Deco’s expression through the graphic arts and illustration. While the main focus for this intriguing book is centred on graphic art, numerous examples of other forms of Art Deco are also featured. Divided into three sections – the movement, its fashion and advertising – the reader gains great insight into the artists and innovators that helped popularize the Art Deco movement, such as Georges Barbier, Erté, Cassandre and Paul Colin

J. Knight said Not what I was hoping for!. What I was hoping to find here is a rather complete work-up on the remnants of that bygone age to be found in the buildings of Manhattan - that's NOT what this is!

A must. Beautiful book! My daughter loved it Beautiful book! My daughter loved it. It's not only filled with great illustrations and art of the era, but also has enough information to also be educational. Great gift!
