The exquisite craftsmanship and artistry of the dazzling works displayed spoke to a sophisticated modernity, yet they were rooted in tradition. Interest in Art Deco has not only endured to the present day, but has grown steadily, and the style is now better known and more collected than ever before. This volume provides an introduction to the historical backdrop for the Art Deco movement and outlines the most salient aspects of the aesthetic. It includes generous quotes from contemporary writings.  aFrance  aArt deco  aNew York (State)--New York  aArt  aMetropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)  aDecoration and ornament--Art deco
