About the Item

A sumptuous celebration of Art Deco interior decoration, in an overview of the interiors designed by the greatest and most influential of French Art Deco interior decorators and furniture designers, Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann. As Ruhlmann was still very much active at the time this survey was issued, the portfolio covers his work from 1913 to 1924, ending in fact before the term which so epitomizes his work, "Art Deco", was coined, which was first heard in 1925 in conjunction with a Paris Exhibition in 1925. In this collection of plates it is immediately apparent that the streamlining of ornament that came with Art Deco could still project fineness, luxuryand sophistication. Indeed, Art Deco didn't impose a renunciation of ornament, such as was the creed of Brutalism, but rather a reworking of the vocabulary of decorative effects, and a simplification if you will, of its grammar.
