Description
Art Deco was the most important decorative style of the late 1920s and 1930s, and its expression in America was seen in virtually every area of the fine and decorative arts: architecture, sculpture, furniture, textiles, ceramics, silver, graphic arts, and jewelry. This splendid book explores the dynamic tradition of Art Deco in America and, in over 500 illustrations, reveals the beauty and extent of the style as it was manifested here.
