On the occasion of the centenary of the Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, which marked the heyday of Art Deco, this catalog celebrates a major style and its success. During this event, which established Art Deco, numerous decorators, manufacturers, magazines, department stores, artists, and even foreign nations competed fiercely to take over Parisian buildings, while others erected temporary structures to showcase their latest creations. Protean and elusive, this movement brings together a range of modern forms, patterns, materials and techniques used by designers such as Jean Puiforcat, Maurice Marinot, Suzanne and René Lalique, Pierre Chareau, Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, André Groult and others. Through eight essays, twelve focus sections and image portfolios, this catalog covers the many incarnations of Art Deco, from its beginnings in the 1910s to its contemporary reinterpretations, including its golden age at the 1925 Exhibition. It draws on a rich iconography that showcases Art Deco masterpieces from the collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and others, through magnificent full-page reproductions and previously unpublished details.
