This is a beauty!

Focusing on Art Deco graphic art and illustration, this coffee-table book features fascinating text on the movement in general, fashion and advertising, accompanied by beautiful reproductions of work by talents such as Barbier, Erté, Cassandre and Colin. Echoing examples of other forms of Art Deco are also included. This beautifully illustrated book is a celebration of Art Deco's expression through the graphic arts and illustration. 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. While the main focus for this intriguing book is centred on graphic art, numerous examples of other forms of Art Deco are also featured. Nestled among the posters and paintings, sculpture, objets d'art and jewellery assert their similarity, whether through line, form or theme. These echoes serve to show the creativity fertility of the period as styles and ideas traversed artistic media.

'My first words when opening the package were "Oh, WOW." This is a stunning book with large, richly colored photos of the art on every page, and just the right amount of copy. The online picture of the cover does not do it justice. It is beautiful and it sparkles. I'm very pleased and highly recommend this book.' - Amazon review
