Art Deco & Other Figures contains the most comprehensive range of Art Deco figures ever published. It's based partly on the original importers' catalogues and partly on the wide range of pieces handled by the author - the leading specialist dealer in the subject. Between the world wars, an entirely modern style of decorative sculpture emerged with Art Decoratif, or Art Deco, which was a complete break with the heavy romantic late 19th century schools and totally in sympathy with the vibrant young society of the 1920s. The use of bronze and ivory for a great number of these sensual figures in no way obscures the fact that many are of exceptionally high quality. Add to this their sense of movement and rhythm and one realizes that the large sums they now command is a reflection of a discriminative international collectors’ market. This new revised edition provides a comprehensive listing of the great variety and range of figures, of which there are still more to be found. This book has proved very popular, providing as it does an almost complete listing of the great variety and range of figures. As well as illustrating many more figures in full color, this revised edition includes figures not previously illustrated. Published by the Antique Collector's Club, it's a super hardcover book that is a great reference book as well as something you can proudly display on your coffee table or shelf.
