London Art Deco by Arnold Schwartzman
The style that subsequently became known as Art Deco first came to prominence at the Paris Exposition of 1925. The version that then developed and flourished in Britain was less florid than the French or American strands, and reflected, in particular, the British love of decorative detail. For this survey of London's rich trove of Art Deco treasures, Arnold Schwartzman has photographed not just landmark buildings like the Savoy Hotel and the Hoover factory but also department stores, cinemas and theatres, underground stations and many other buildings in which stunning exteriors or interiors survive, in whole or in part, to remind us of the city's rich legacy from the Deco period.
Arnold Schwartzman is a renowned graphic designer who has been awarded the CBE for his services to the British film industry and was recently honoured by the RSA with the title of Royal Designer for Industry. He lives in Los Angeles and his previous books include a companion volume on that city, Deco Landmarks.
