Art Deco Graphics

Więcej o książce

"This is the first book to focus exclusively on Art Deco graphics. The text discusses in depth the origins, sources, and influences that formed Art Deco graphic style and then covers the many areas of graphic design in which the style appeared. The illustrations shown are basically two-dimensional works made for production in print - posters, magazine covers and illustrations, book jackets and pages, fashion drawings, advertisements, postcards, sheet music covers, menus, packaging, labels, letterheads, textiles, wallpapers, stationery, catalogues and brochures, etc. While the bulk of the book shows these printed works, there is a chapter ("Transition") on decorative paintings and prints that formed a bridge between the fine arts and commercial graphics during the Art Deco period. Throughout the text, marginal illustrations are used to demonstrate relationships and influences in an effort to clarify the nature of Art Deco graphic style - which is the purpose of this book." -page 19.
