Product Description

This reprint provides an almost complete listing of the great variety and range of Art Deco figures, of which there are still more to be found. The unconventional use of bronze and ivory in no way obscures the fact that many of them are of very high quality and extremely collectable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of pictures but little else, 9 Nov 2003

By	reviewer (Europe) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Art Deco and Other Figures (Hardcover)

This book has been eagerly awaited as the new edition of the standard work covering figures from the late 19th century to the 1930’s. This is essentially a large photo collection containing hundreds of black and white photographs and some in colour. The text is sparse in the extreme being confined to a few introductory pages. Likewise there is little commentary with the photographs. I found this a disappointing experience. This is not the book for those who have a large appetite for information about these beautiful sculptures (though I don’t think that’s been written yet). The book may be useful for auction houses who seek to identify individual pieces but even for them it is limited as some reasonably well known pieces seem not to be included.

2.0 out of 5 stars One for the serious collector, 11 Oct 2001

By A Customer

Over 1,000 photographs of the most important works of the period. There are very short biograhies of the artists but no details of signatures or identifying marks. The book is useful for authenticating a particular piece. The book is not aimed at educating those not already very familiar with the works shown. It has almost no editorial content and does not give estimates of value or rarity. Of use only to serious collectors or dealers. But nevertheless the largest collection of figure photography in one book that the reviewer has come across.
