DOWNLOAD EBOOK'My passion for the Art Deco style probably stems from the fact that I was born in that glorious era... I hope the audience of "The Art Deco City" will enjoy the fruits of my Art Deco travels throughout the world.' Art Deco reflected the new industrial age drawing from a variety of influences including ancient Egyptian, Moorish and Mayan motifs and the Cubism, Fauvism and De Stijl movements. The Art Deco style gained prominence in the 1920s, but it was not only architects that embraced its new design ideas: interior and product designers and craftsmen also took inspiration and none more so than architectural furniture designers. Drawing inspiration from the UK, Europe and the USA, this beautiful and comprehensive book celebrates the world's greatest Art Deco buildings, displaying the stunning and diverse range of architecture and design that announced this new movement's aesthetic intent. AUTHOR: Arnold Schwartzman is an Oscar-winning film-maker, a noted graphic designer, and the author of a score of books. He began his design career in British television. In 1978, he moved to Hollywood. He was the Director of Design for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, and for a number of years has designed many of the key graphic elements for the annual Academy Awards. In 2010, he created the two murals for the Grand Lobby of Cunard's "Queen Elizabeth". In 2001, he was awarded an OBE and in 2006 he was appointed a Royal Designer by the RSA. He is the author of London At Deco (Palazzo Editions 2010, 2013). SELLING POINTS: * A beautiful collection of some of the world's greatest Art Deco buildings - from factories, hotels and underground stations to theatres and private * More than 200 stunning photographs offer a visual journey through Europe's cities, the USA and UK * By the author/photographer of London Art Deco (TCM 8595) Full colour throughout
