The Art Deco Style

Theodore Menten in this new selection of Art Deco styles includes works in all of the above categories from 175 artists, architects and designers including: Edgar Brandt, Marcel Breuer, Pierre Chareau, Jean Fouquet, Gabriel Guevrekian, Le Corbusier, Pierre Legrain, Andre Lurcat, Robert Mallet-Stevens, the Martels, Gustave Miklos, Charles Moreux, Raymond Nicholas, Charlotte Perriand, Jean Puiforcat, Rene-Herbst, Gerard Sandoz, Henri Sauvage, Raymond Subes and Gaston Vuitton. The selection is primarily from "L'Art International d'Aujourd'hui" (International Art of Today), the already rare 20-volume work containing the authentic documents of the movement. Although the influences are many - Egyptian and Aztec art, Cubism, Fauvism and Expressionism - the goal "to unite arts with industry" and the strongly geometric outlook are common.
