The best of
Paris Art Deco in a handy pocket size With the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs
et Industriels Moderne, the city of Paris heralded in the New Era. Paris was
the cradle of Art Deco, a style that emerged in the 1920s as a reaction to the
sinuous tentacles of Art Nouveau in the early 1900s, and an alternative to the
Machine Age imagery emerging from Germany and the Soviet Union. The Exposition des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels was
intended to revive the French luxury trades and it popularized a jazzy style of
decoration that drew on many sources and expressed the spirit of the age. The
Expo later gave its name to Art Deco which achieved some of its most refined
and exuberant manifestations in Paris, while rapidly spreading across the
world, from London to Los Angeles. Born into the Art Deco Age, author Arnold Schwartzman /photographer
has savoured his many visits to Paris, and is now eager to share with the
reader his journey through the boulevards of La Ville Lumiere.
