The book "Art Deco" - Flame Tree Publishing

This beautifully illustrated book is a celebration of Art Deco expression through graphics and illustration. Divided into three sections – the movement, its fashion, and advertising – the reader gains an excellent insight into the artists and innovators who helped popularise the Art Deco movement, such as Georges Barbier, Erté, Cassandre, and Paul Colin. Although the main focus of this intriguing book is on graphics, numerous examples of other forms of Art Deco are also presented. Among the posters and paintings, sculpture, art objects, and jewellery highlight their similarity, whether through line, form, or theme. These echoes serve to showcase the creative fertility of this period, as styles and ideas traversed artistic media.
