Requests:  0 Summary:  This book showcases and puts into historical context a host of sculpted works created in the 1920s and 1930s in the decorative vernacular defined loosely today as 'Art Deco'. The works shown demonstrate a sometimes bewilderingly broad range of styles and stylistic influences. Alastair Duncan organizes his subject into three main categories: the first features work by avant-garde sculptors (Csaky, Janniot, Pompon, etc), often as pieces uniques or small editions; the second shows commercial sculpture, comprising mainly large-edition statuary, commissioned as decorative works for the burgeoning 1920s domestic market; while a final, third category covers architectural and monumental sculpture from West and Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, North America, Brazil and beyond.0With artists' biographies and details of manufacturers, a full glossary and a thematic index, this volume is the essential and authoritative guide for all those interested in the Art Deco style, from the amateur collector of animalier sculpture to professional historians of the period.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 735.23041 Du Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 735.23041 Duncan Checked In Add Copy to MyList
