For anyone who has an interest in art deco figures this book is a must have. The colour photos are excellent. The black and white images are variable in quality, some, as noted by the author are drawn from original suppliers catalogues, and of lower quality. Has an extensive range of images of Chiparus figures including many in colour.

If you are looking for hundreds of pictures of figurines and statues from the art deco masters, then this book is for you. If you are looking for a lot of narration and information about this period and style of art, you may be disappointed. I enjoyed the book a great deal and the modest amount of text was enough for me.

This is the absolute bible for collectors of art deco figurines. Providing beautiful colour and black and white photos of most extant examples of the genre, it is both a reference book and a source book for anyone interested in buying, or simply learning about, art deco bronzes.
