Developed in response to a growing appetite for a new a design language at the dawn of the 20th century, the art deco movement crystallised in 1925 at the Exposition International des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, from which it takes its name. Spanning a number of disciplines across the applied arts, the art deco period had a global appeal thanks in part to its many facets, which included decorative influences, the updating of historical styles and the incorporation of various exotic elements alongside the geometric abstractions of cubism. An aesthetic that has been applied to everything from skyscrapers and ocean liners to fashion, advertising and home furnishings, art deco's appeal — which evolved between the two World Wars — lay in its decorative qualities, generally perceived as attractive and glamorous by consumers. Assouline's 'Art Deco Style' spotlights the movement and its various manifestations across the globe, as well as its enduring popularity. With an introduction by expert Jared Goss, 'Art Deco Style' features 200 illustrations across 300 pages and is presented with a linen hardcover. 300 pages 200 illustrations Published in October 2021
