The author tries to bring the decorative Art Deco details, rather than the buildings themselves, into focus in this wonderful work. All color photos are of Art Deco style renditions found in Los Angeles. A very important work preserving a style which held dominance for some time within the Los Angeles creative imagination. The Mission style also dominated but the landmark status usually found Art Deco to adorn the architecture. The Doheny mansion is the only well known building to be left out.

Before it was famous for its midcentury commercial design, Los Angeles was already a treasure trove of elegant architecture in the Art Deco style. Products of the streamlined design aesthetic of the 1920s and New Deal building during the 1930s, many of these buildings fell into disrepair or were marred by ill-fitting façades in later years. But recently they have become the focus of intense preservation efforts, appreciated once again for their timeless charm. This glorious survey features hundreds of color photographs from across the L.A. Basin--with dazzling details from the majestic to the whimsical--that define Art Deco style. With a foreword by Bevis Hillier, the critic who coined the term Art Deco, here's a gem for Deco buffs and Los Angeles aficionados alike. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
