Art Deco
"This must be the most lavish book on Art Deco ever published. It may even be the last word on the movement."-Artforum <P>"Victor Arwas's Art Deco is the most serious and comprehensive book on the subject. . . . The book itself is an object of striking elegance."-Newsweek <P>Victor Arwas's magnificent book offers a broad insight into the elements of this distinctive decorative style. Arwas discusses the work of Art Deco's leading French exponents-Ruhlmann, Puiforcat, Ert, Dunand, Fouquet, Cassandre, Boucheron, and Icart, to name but a few-as he traces the evolution of the style from its first appearance at the famed 1925 Exposition des Arts Dcoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, from which it took its name. <P>437 illustrations, 340 in full color, 10 x 12"
