A FLOP,
By A Customer
This review is from: Art Deco Sculpture and Metalwares (Hardcover)
The chryselephantine sculpture is disappointingly covered both in content (just worth a couple of lines) and pictures (awful, tasteless and neglected duotone photos). Clearly, the author focuses just on arty sculpture rather than serial manufacture, missing the point of art deco sculpture, a blend of art and craftmanship.

Dedicated mainly to Austro-German metal sculpture,
By RAMON ALVAREZ (MADRID, MADRID Espagne) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Art Deco Sculpture and Metalwares (Hardcover)
Disappointing book. The title should be Germanic influenced metalwork from 1910 through 1935 to be more realistic. Does not cover the wide spectrum of Art Deco sculpture in Western Europe, deals mainly with European sculpture and metalwork east of the Rhine river.
