This book is about the Paris Exhibition of 1925, but almost all of the illustrations are of art deco examples in general. (Some of these, such as a Chinese-themed Tiffany desk clock, are stunning, however.) This disconnect, and the sort of 'artsy' tone of the text, which manages to sound almost contemporary to the exhibition itself, make for an only intermittently satisfying read (and look). But they will have you searching the web for more pictures and explanation. Of course, how sad to think that the hope-driven exhibition, full of all this artistic expression in 1925, shortly after the end of World War I, was only a brief interlude in the march to the even greater horrors of Word War II.

Art Deco style was established on the ashes of a disappeared world, the one from before the First World War, and on the foundation stone of a world yet to become, opened to the most undisclosed promises. Forgetting herself in the whirl of Jazz Age and the euphoria of the "Années Folles", the Garçonne with her linear shape reflects the architectural style of Art Deco: to the rounded curves succeed the simple and plain androgynous straight line... Architecture, painting, furniture and sculpture, dissected by the author, proclaim the druthers for sharp lines and broken angles. Although ephemeral, this movement keeps on influencing contemporary design. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
