This book looks at the brief arc of art deco in Britain, with pointers to the best surviving structures and pieces of decoration that can still be found on the streets of Britain. Art deco refers to a striking range of decorative design styles that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by bold colors, geometric shapes, and sweeping curves. Art deco became particularly associated with leisure and entertainment in the jazz age, giving cinemas, hotels and department stores a touch of Hollywood glamour. By the 1930s deco was morphing into the smooth curves of streamlining, a style which emphasized the speed of modern cars, trains, and airliners. Art deco style disappeared with the outbreak of World War II after burning brightly for less than 15 years. | Art Deco by Oliver Green, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
