ART DECO - ARNOLD SCHWARTZMAN GEBUNDEN

Arnold Schwartzman's stunning photographs of the finest examples of Art Deco from all over the
world are collected here as a celebration of one of the world's most popular decorative styles.
Art deco is the 20th century's most glamorous architectural style  and the one that shaped
popular ideas of modern luxury. With over 200 photographs  this is a visual celebration of this
very popular style. Unlike most other books on the subject that tend to be regionally specific
this book highlights Art Deco buildings from all over the world  from Australia to South
America  with an emphasis on London  Los Angeles  New York  Chicago  Miami  and Paris. Art Deco
features much careful and exacting detail  and of special interest in this book are photos that
zoom in on murals  mosaics  flooring  ironwork  and other ornamental flourishes. Art Deco began
in 1925 and quickly swept the globe becoming the style epitomizing Jazz Age glamor and
sophistication. It drew from a variety of influences including ancient Egyptian  Moorish  and
Mayan motifs but also modernist movements like Cubism  Fauvism  and De Stijl. Its influence was
felt everywhere  from the skylines of New York to Shanghai  and it gained prominence not only
with architects and designers but enjoyed a passionate following among the public as well.
