This popular celebration of the roaring 1920s fashion is now available in paperback. From beaded evening dresses for dancing the Charleston to sporty outfits for golf, the world of Hollywood and F. Scott Fitzgerald is conjured up in sumptuous pictures of stylish outfits for all occasions. A wealth of evocative illustrations from the V&A’s world-famous dress collection and from the stylish fashion magazines of the time recreates of this glamorous era.

A wide-ranging and unique survey of Art Deco architecture and design, told through postcards of the era

Art Deco was one of the most captivating and popular artistic movements of the twentieth century, and its iconic blend of luxury and simplicity still bewitches us today. This volume has an entirely original approach to the subject: it features postcards from the 1920s to 1940s — from nightclubs, hotels, and restaurants to skyscrapers, apartment buildings, and airports — each landmark or interior immortalized in miniature.

Emblems of the era, such as the Chrysler and Empire State buildings, appear, as well as a selection of less well-known fac¸ades and interiors from around the world. The expositions and world fairs that drove the development of the style were often ephemeral displays, and the book captures these structures that are no longer on the map but have left an enduring legacy.

A special pop-out-and-keep facsimile section includes detachable reproductions of some of the most important and beautiful cards. 250 full-color illustrations.

Art Deco Complete: The Definitive Guide to the Decorative Arts of the 1920s and 1930s

Стильно оформленное, прекрасно иллюстрированное подарочное издание большого формата в суперобложке, упакованное в оригинальный подарочный футляр.

Это самая полная энциклопедия, посвященная искусству ар деко, за всю историю изучения стиля. Ар деко считается наиболее изысканным из всех декоративных стилей ХХ века, он возник на основе типично французского представления о роскоши и утонченности, что в 1920-е годы нередко выражалось в использовании экзотических материалов. Богатство и разнообразие форм, множество заимствований из других культур – характерные особенности стиля, благодаря которым ар деко не перестает быть фаворитом коллекционеров и источником вдохновения дизайнеров нового поколения.

Энциклопедия начинается серией эссе, посвященных мебели и декору интерьеров, скульптуре, живописи, графике, плакату и книжным переплетам. Предметом тщательного исследования являются  также художественное стекло, керамика, освещение, текстиль и ювелирные изделия. Каждая глава сопровождается иллюстрациями и подробными биографиями выдающихся мастеров.

Sumptuously illustrated with over 1,000 illustrations and written by one of the world’s leading experts, Art Deco Complete will be the definitive work on the subject for many years to come.

In the most comprehensive account of the decorative arts of the Art Deco period ever assembled, Alastair Duncan celebrates the rich variety of form and diverse international roots that have made it a perennial favourite of collectors and a constant source of inspiration for designers.

Straddling two World Wars and the Great Depression, ushering in the Jazz Age and the era of the automobile and skyscraper, and shaping everything from the Golden Gate Bridge to the humble desk lamp, the story of Art Deco is the story of our modern world.

In its purest forms, it developed from a characteristically French image of luxury and refinement. Later, modernist European and American designers incorporated metal and plastic in styles described as ‘Streamline Moderne’, but which are now called ‘Deco’. Although Paris was the spiritual home of the movement, Art Deco was a truly global style, with designers from every country in Europe and the Americas inspired by a vast international catalogue of artistic and craft traditions.

The guide begins with essays on the major media of the period: Furniture and Interior Decoration; Sculpture; Paintings, Graphics, Posters and Bookbinding; Glass; Ceramics; Lighting; Textiles; Silver, Metal, Lacquer and Enamel; and Jewelry, each followed by lavishly illustrated in-depth biographies of the major designers and artists working in the medium.

The second half of the book is an authoritative illustrated A–Z listing of all significant designers in the Art Deco style, comprising over four hundred entries.

Alastair Duncan was for many years an officer and consultant of Christie’s, New York, and is now an independent consultant on the decorative arts of the 19th and 20th centuries. He is the author of many books on the Art Deco period, including Art Nouveau and Art Deco Lighting, Art Deco Furniture, American Art Deco and Art Nouveau and Art Deco Bookbinding.

Art Deco embraced architecture, furniture, fabrics, stage design, and fashion – even painting. Like its forerunner, Art Nouveau, Art Deco was an eclectic style. It drew inspiration from many sources. Designers borrowed from the pictorial inventions of contemporary avant-garde artists.

This newly updated and expanded collection of Art Deco designs shows a style that is equally adaptable and as enjoyable now as when it was first created.

Art Deco came to represent the refreshing, energetic and optimistic outlook after the First World War. This collection of 80 Masterworks by artists and designers such as Tamara de Lempicka, Clarice Cliff and Frank Lloyd Wright will inspire this familiar with the subject and enthusiastic newcomers alike .

While the main focus for this intriguing book is centred on graphic art and illustration, numerous examples of other forms of Art Deco are also featured. Nestled amongst the posters and paintings, sculpture, objects d'art and jewellery assert their similarity, whether through line, form or theme. These echoes serve to show the creativity fertility of the period as styles and ideas traversed artistic media.

A geometric language of forms, influenced by Cubism and the aesthetic of the machine, coloured plastic and chromium are synonymous with the Art Déco costume jewellery which was so popular in 1920s and 1930s Europe.

Formerly classified by specialists as ‘French jewellery’, these Art Déco jewellery objects were actually made at the Jakob Bengel Chain and Bijouterie Wares Factory, founded in Idar-Oberstein in 1873!

The jewellery produced by Bengel between 1931 and 1938 is distinguished by that of other makers by extraordinarily powerful innovation and a high degree of individuality. A mix of materials consisting of the coloured plastic Galalith and chromium-plated metal is handled with a playfully light touch. Bengel jewellery was exported worldwide.

More than two hundred and fifty pieces of Bengel jewellery are superbly reproduced and described in this monograph on the firm. In addition, the book surveys over one hundred and thirty years of Bengel history and gives insights into sample books that have survived from the years 1924 to 1939.

Over ten thousand drawings in colour furnish conclusive source material on designers and design practice during those years.

Dieses Referenzwerk bietet einen faszinierenden Überblick zum Art Déco-Schmuck! Sonderausgabe der vergriffenen Publikation zum Sonderpreis!Eine geometrische Formensprache, beeinflusst von Kubismus und Maschinenästhetik, farbiger Kunststoff und Chrom sind die Synonyme für Art Déco-Modeschmuck, der in den 1920er und 1930er Jahren in Europa sehr beliebt war. Viele bisher von der Fachwelt als französischer Schmuck eingestufte Art Déco-Schmuckobjekte sind in der 1873 gegründeten Ketten- und Bijouteriewarenfabrik Jakob Bengel in Idar-Oberstein entstanden! Die Bengel-Schmuckproduktion der Jahre 1931 bis 1938 zeichnet sich im Vergleich mit anderen Herstellern durch eine außerordentliche Innovationskraft und hohe Individualität aus. Mit spielerischer Leichtigkeit wird mit einem Materialmix aus farbigem Kunststoff Galalith und verchromtem Metall umgegangen. Bengel-Schmuck wurde in die ganze Welt exportiert. In dieser Firmen-Monografie werden über 250 Bengel-Schmuckstücke brilliant abgebildet und beschrieben; darüber hinaus gibt das Buch einen Überblick über die 130-jährige Firmengeschichte und auch Einblicke in die erhaltenen Musterbücher aus den Jahren 1924 bis 1939. Anhand von über 10.000 farbigen Zeichnungen lassen sich Rückschlüsse auf Entwerfer und die Entwurfspraxis der damaligen Zeit ziehen.

The end of the First World War left much of Europe faced with an entirely new political and social situation: absolute monarchy was consigned to the dustbin of history and essays in democracy were the order of the day. The changed conditions and the new way of life associated with them required new forms of expression in -music, dance, architecture and painting – and of course also in design. There France had led the field since the ground-breaking 1925 Exposition International des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris. Germany had not even been invited to that world exhibition – the effects of the Great War that had only ended a few years previously were still being felt.

All great jewellery-designers were strongly committed to the Art Déco style, which featured astringent sophistication in design and choice of materials: jewellers such as Cartier, Boucheron, René Lalique, Georges Fouquet and designers such as Jean Desprès and René Boivin. From about 1928, this canon of forms occurs both in the work of Naum Slutzky at the Bauhaus and the German jewellery industry as represented by Theodor Fahrner Nachf. Gustav Brändle in Pforzheim and Jakob Bengel in Idar-Oberstein.

A magnificent show of this short-lived yet far-reaching -stylistic intermezzo between the two world wars: from the most luxurious and elaborate jewels to costume jewellery made of Bakelite and Galalite. With a contribution on 1920s and 1930s fashion.

Follows the development of one of the Twentieth Century`s most glamorous styles. All aspects of 1920s and 1930s design and architecture were affected by its elegant sophistication, and this beautiful new book shows how its pervading influences transformed everyday objects into luxurious works of art.

This book presents some of the finest Art Deco jewelry produced by the world’s leading designers and makers between 1910 and 1937. Not only does it feature the most famous names of the Art Deco period, it also restores other notable makers to their proper place in an era that saw the creation of stunningly stylish and beautiful jewelry.

Drawn from public and private collections worldwide, some of the best-known pieces of Art Deco jewelry are shown alongside many original drawings and designs, several for the first time. A number of the world’s foremost authorities on the subject explore the world of Art Deco jewelry in essays on the context of the modern movement; on clients and collectors; on the relationship between jewelry and the fine arts, architecture and cinema; and on the world of graphic art, commercial design and advertising.

Eighteen designers and houses are featured individually, including Paul Brandt, Suzanne Belperron, Boivin, Cartier, Jean Després, Jean Fouquet, Gérard Sandoz and Raymond Templier, among others. Some were the heirs to jewelry dynasties, some were talented newcomers with fresh ideas, but all left their mark on the Art Deco era. Echoing the revolution that occurred throughout the arts in this period, their jewelry ranged from lavish gem-studded creations worn by Hollywood stars to innovative costume pieces that made creative use of unusual metals and materials.

With expert guides and breathtaking illustrations, this entrancing and authoritative book will appeal to specialists and general readers alike.

This important book, now available in a revised edition, contains the most complete range of art deco figures ever published. It is based partly on the original importers' catalogues and partly on the wide range of pieces handled by the author Bryan Catley - the leading specialist in the subject.

Between the wars an entirely modern style of decorative sculpture emerged which was a complete break with the heavy romantic late nineteenth century schools, and was totally in sympathy with the vibrant young society of the 1920s.

The use of bronze and ivory for a great number of these sensual figures in no way obscures the fact that many are of exceptionally high quality; add to this their sense of movement and rhythm and one realises that the large sums they now command is a reflection of a discriminative international collectors market.

Bryan Catley's original interest in the subject was fired when he inherited an art deco figure from his late grandmother's art collection. During his student days at engineering college and after he was inspired to go on and buy every figure he could afford. Later he and John Sparrow set up the business known as 'Catspa' which, for many years before their retirement, was synonymous with Art Deco sculpture.

Стиль Ар Деко, бывший невероятно популярным в период между двумя мировыми войнами, переживает в последние годы очередной всплеск интереса как в Европе, так и в Америке. Если в 70-е годы прошлого века, когда один из авторов предлагаемой читателю книги – Бивис Хилльер буквально возродил интерес к Ар Деко, его популярность «обошла» Россию стороной, то в наши дни Ар Деко востребован в России не меньше, чем в Европе.

Стиль Ар Деко охватывает самые разные виды искусства и творческой деятельности: изобразительное и декоративное искусство, товарный дизайн и упаковку, моду, убранство интерьеров, архитектуру, плакаты и книжную графику.

Основанный на геометрических и стилизованных природных формах Ар Деко в очередной раз становится источником вдохновения для нового поколения дизайнеров и художников.
Книга "Стиль Ар Деко" – наиболее полное и всестороннее исследование этого многогранного явления. Подлинно интернациональное по охвату, затрагивающее весь спектр искусства, дизайна и архитектуры, богато иллюстрированное издание демонстрирует всепроникающий характер и внутреннее единство Ар Деко как стиля, передает его обаяние, до сих пор сохранившее живое воздействие на искусство.

Дизайн мебели от Рококо до Арт Деко. Это издание, содержащее более 1300 (в основном цветных) иллюстраций, представляет собой сборник, позволяющий как знатокам, так и любителям в полной мере оценить трехвековую историю европейского дизайна мебели.

468 examples from L'Art International d'Aujourd'hui capture geometric, prismatic Art Deco of 20's and 30's. Gardens, dwellings, interiors, furniture, fabrics, stained glass, sculpture, jewelry, graphics by Brandt, Chareau, Fouquet, Vuitton — 171 other artists, architects, and designers.
