More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
An exploration of art deco architectural design, embracing many different times and places in its summary of the movement's origins, development and influence. Various types of architecture, the author explains, were termed art deco, and their antecedents were mixed and often surprising: arts and crafts, fin-de-siecle Vienna, Cubism, Expressionism and the Bauhaus. Patricia Bayer shows that art deco masterpieces can be seen and admired worldwide: from the skyscrapers of New York City to imperial dwellings in Tokyo; from Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Battersea Power Station to movie theatres and diners across America. Post-modernism now uses its motifs and idioms, and many of the original buildings still survive, fully restored to their former glory.

Format:Paperback
Money well spent. A vast, eclectic mix of styles, locations and building types. Highly informative text. My ideal Art Deco Architecture book would be cover to cover colour with perhaps, more photographs of fewer buildings, hence four stars.

I agree that this is not the best buy on Art Deco but it is maybe the best value for money you can find.
There are good pictures and the text is also great. We would like to have some more colour pictures or more recent photos, with better quality but ...
I highly recommend the book.

A decent stab at explaining and informing on the ideas and stories behind some nice examples of art deco architecture. I found it a little wordy and it could do with some more vibrant pictures (i.e. in colour) a decent stab at the subject and a good coffee table tome.
