Описание книги

The Art Deco movement flourished throughout the 1920s and 30s and following the 1925 "Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes" in Paris, from which the style took its name, became the first truly international design movement, rapidly spreading around the world. Each country assimilated Art Deco in a different way, adapting it to suit its own historic traditions in terms of design, materials and techniques. In Britain, Art Deco developed in ways that reflected the country's imperial status and the national love of architectural detail. In London, in particular, Art Deco quickly became the style of choice for a succession of landmark buildings: from the elegant Savoy Hotel, through ornate West End theatres, to imposing temples of commerce such as the "Daily Express" building in Fleet Street or the Hoover factory on the new Great West Road. Remarkably, many of the city's Art Deco buildings still survive -their once grime-covered facades now mostly scrubbed clean, beautifully displaying their many sculptural features, all captured here by the camera of Arnold Schwartzman. "London Art Deco" presents a stunning visual catalogue of the capital's Art Deco legacy that was handed down to us from the florid 20s and the streamlined 30s. It features cinemas, theatres, hotels, department stores, Underground stations, factories, civic, corporate and residential buildings and shows the way in which the style influenced architects and designers working on every scale, from entire buildings to the finest decorative detail.
