ART DECO • STUDIO VISTA • 1972 • VINTAGE 20s 30s MINI COFFEE TABLE BOOK

ART DECO • STUDIO VISTA • 1972 “This is the first book in English to explore the origins and scope of the extraordinary style which became dominant in Europe and America in the 1920s and 30s-the style of Odeon architecture of liner and hotel interiors, of suburbia and its mass-produced arts. Bevis Hillier defines Art Deco and shows how it grew out of Art Nouveau and became its antithesis. He describes how cubism, the Russian Ballet, ancient Egyptian art, the Bauhaus and the design of Aztec temples all contributed to its development. The book covers silver, jewelry, ceramics, glass, textiles, metalwork, architecture and the other disciplines which Art Deco revolutionized.” • RARE THIRD EDITION PAPERBACK FROM 1972 (ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN 1968) • 120 PHOTOS-SOME COLOR • PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN • 9/10 CONDITION- wear to paperback cover from age (slight tear as pictured) but binding is tight & all pages are intact • 168 PAGES #rareartbooks #1930s #1920s #artdeco #design
