Scholarly interest in Art Deco has grown rapidly over the past fifty years, spanning different academic disciplines.

The book provides a range of perspectives on and approaches to these issues, as well as to the concept of Art Deco itself. It highlights the slipperiness of Art Deco yet points to its potential to shed new light on the complexities of modernity.

Critic Reviews
