This book draws our attention back to the birth of Art Deco. Brilliantly designed to reflect the style it celebrates, Art Deco is filled with hundreds of examples of painting, architecture, interiors, jewellery, crafts, furniture, and fashion. It traces the chronology of the Art Deco style by looking at the politics and culture of Europe in the 1920s and early 30s, and the artistic movements that paralleled its popularity, and follows Art Deco's influence in Europe, and its immigration to the Americas and Asia.
