Authentic Art Deco & Marvellous Moderne,
By Annie "Titaniashome" (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 133 Authentic Art Deco Patterns (Dover Electronic Clip Art) (Paperback)
The brief description didn't provide much detail about this offering from Dover, so I was thrilled to discover that it is full of wonderful designs using the pochoir stencilling process which was so popular during the nouveau & deco periods. If you are familiar with the French fashion journals of this time, you will recognise the style. These Art Modernes images were mainly used for textiles and furnishings but also pop up in book plates and wallpapers.
The first half of the book contains designs by Aug.Thomas from his Formes et Couleurs collection and the second half has George Darcy's Or et Couleurs. Both artists worked in Paris in the 1920s and their designs are mainly themed around nature with lots of stylized florals in vibrant colours (but not limited to red yellow green and orange!)

127 Authentic Art Deco Designs,
By Carol Goldsmith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 127 Authentic Art Deco Patterns in Full Color (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This book represents early Art Deco Designs, perhaps even late Art Nouveau Designs. The strikingly remarkable feature is the color combinations, which show the early flavor of the period. These designs were taken from two portfolios of 1920's artists. There is a full range of figures from antalope and mountian lion to flowers and people. Some of which are highly intricate and ornate, while others verge on the primative. As a source book for a decorative artist (me), it gives subject and theme for any period compositions which can be mounted. The art is highly styled and ornate, giving a fresh look to the Art Deco Period. 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful:

Great variety,
By Nina Sherron "runs deep" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 127 Authentic Art Deco Patterns in Full Color (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This book is great for giving an all around idea of art deco textile, and art detail. However, I would have liked more information on the designers, years these were popular, the artists, etc.
