  • Author : Robert Bruegmann
  • Publisher : Yale University Press
  • Release : 2018-10-02
  • ISBN : 0300229933
  • Pages : 413 pages

Download or read book Art Deco Chicago written by Robert Bruegmann and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expansive take on American Art Deco that explores Chicago's pivotal role in developing the architecture, graphic design, and product design that came to define middle-class style in the twentieth century Frank Lloyd Wright’s lost Midway Gardens, the iconic Sunbeam Mixmaster, and Marshall Field’s famed window displays: despite the differences in scale and medium, each belongs to the broad current of an Art Deco style that developed in Chicago in the first half of the twentieth century. This ambitious overview of the city’s architectural, product, industrial, and graphic design between 1910 and 1950 offers a fresh perspective on a style that would come to represent the dominant mode of modernism for the American middle class. Lavishly illustrated with 325 images, the book narrates Art Deco’s evolution in 101 key works, carefully curated and chronologically organized to tell the story of not just a style but a set of sensibilities. Critical essays from leading figures in the field discuss the ways in which Art Deco created an entire visual universe that extended to architecture, advertising, household objects, clothing, and even food design. Through this comprehensive approach to one of the 20th century’s most pervasive modes of expression in America, Art Deco Chicago provides an essential overview of both this influential style and the metropolis that came to embody it.

  • Pages : 96 pages

Download or read book Buffalo Art Deco written by Trisha Charles and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several movements helped to define the era known as the Roaring Twenties. Prohibition brought about the speakeasy, moonshine, the flapper, and the arrival of the jazz age, while the elegance and glamour of the period permeated design and architecture in the Art Deco or Moderne style. During this time, Buffalo was a hub for transportation, design, music, and manufacturing. Some of the world's finest Art Deco buildings were constructed, and today, Buffalo is still rich with fine examples. City hall, Buffalo's crown jewel of the Art Deco movement, can still be toured daily. Across town, Central Terminal is being restored and revived to its original sophistication and glory. If one is looking for a live jazz show, stop by the Colored Musician Club and be sure to visit the museum. While the Art Deco period was short, other fine examples such as the Rand Building, the Courier Express Building, and the Pierce Arrow Showroom also represent the grandeur of the bygone era.
