Paris Art Deco - Arnold Schwartzman - książka

Opis

In 1925, the city of Paris introduced a new era through the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Moderne, positioning itself as the birthplace of Art Deco. This style emerged in the 1920s as a counter-movement to the flowing lines of Art Nouveau from the early 20th century, as well as a contrast to the industrial imagery developing in Germany and the Soviet Union. The exposition aimed to rejuvenate the French luxury industries, showcasing a vibrant decorative style that drew inspiration from various sources, capturing the spirit of the time. The event eventually lent its name to what became known as Art Deco, celebrated for its intricate and dynamic designs, which flourished in Paris before quickly spreading globally, from London to Los Angeles. Enthralled by the city and its artistic heritage, author and photographer Arnold Schwartzman relishes his experiences in Paris and warmly invites readers to explore the boulevards of the City of Light through his eyes.
