Inhaltsangabe

This beautiful book contains 127 superb examples of Art Deco design reproduced in full color on 40 plates. Reprinted from two very rare portfolios first published in Paris circa 1920, the patterns reflect the distinctive aesthetic that flourished in European and American arts and crafts in the years following World War I. Included here are dynamic patterns combining flowers, fruits, leaves, butterflies, birds, animals and people in bold, exotic designs rich with sumptuous colors. Some are repeat patterns of flowers, leaves or swirling peacock feathers; others are vibrant still lifes of flowers, or scenes of Ancient Egypt, a leaping stag, a flight of butterflies and more. Artists and designers will find a variety of shapes in these copyright-free patterns-squares, rectangles, semicircles and more. Borders and corners are included as well, adding extra versatility and usefulness to the collection. The result is a rich source of immediately usable designs as well as practical inspiration for designers of textiles, wall coverings, sets and costumes, clothing and jewelry and anyone in search of authentic Art Deco material.
