Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Art Deco made its formal appearance in Paris at the 1925 L Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, a showcase for art, architecture, and design that promoted progress, modernity, and the present. The greatest export from this exhibition was a style that has since been recognized as one of the great design movements of the 20th century. Art Deco's growing recognition coincided with the growth of Los Angeles as the entertainment capital. Between world wars, the city's architecture sprouted characteristic signs of Art Deco: the interplay of vertical and horizontal features, geometric shapes, use of exotic and modern materials, as well as simplified streamlined forms. This volume's marvelous collection of images celebrates Los Angeles's Art Deco heritage, showcasing such structures as Bullock's Wilshire, Sunset Tower, the Oviatt Penthouse, the Wiltern and Pantages Theatres, and many, many more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Appreciation for an under-rated city, October 14, 2007
The landscape of Los Angeles generally compares unfavorably to such architectural stars as New York or Paris or even San Francisco. But this beautifully researched and documented book demonstrates why this is unjust. While it is true that one has to seek out stylish examples amidst poor urban planning, there are many jewels of Deco fashion remaining in the cityscape. This book is a splendid guide to and compendium of same and ought to be kept on hand for further city development and preservation. Appreciate Los Angeles and revel in the glory of bygone days!
