2.0 out of 5 stars
these are not authentic, October 12, 2003
This review is from: Art Deco Spot Illustrations and Motifs: 513 Original Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
i assumed, since this was a dover book, that the designs would have been originally published in the 20s and 30s. not so. they are 'interpretations' by an artist born after deco ended and created in the mid-80s.
the designs are not horrible, but they're not wonderful, either. there may be one of two that, with tweaking, i might use, but most are pretty ordinary.

Not what I expected, August 20, 2006
This review is from: Art Deco Spot Illustrations and Motifs: 513 Original Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
I thought that this would be a book with reproductions of typical art deco motifs but it turns out to be one artist's interpretations of Art Deco, and in my opinion the results are pretty ugly...
