Review

"Art Deco Style is the most comprehensive and wise-ranging study of Art Deco yet to be published. Truly international in scope and covering the whole spectrum of art, design and architecture, this richly illustrated book demonstrates the all-pervasiveness and essential coherence of Art Deco as a style, and reflects the fascination that it continues to exert as a living influence."--Jacket
