Decorative Art 1920s - Reviews
"Chunky, generously inclusive volumes that offer a broad sampling of pages from Decorative Art. The books are physically appetizing, as TASCHEN books usually are, pleasantly thick and heavy, with soft board covers that fold in with a flap like a cookie box and Popsicle-colored spines."new art examinerUnited States |

"C'est certainement la plus complète collection d'arts décoratifs du XXe siècle que vous puissiez trouver sur le marché. Ces bouquins sont splendides."IdeatFrance |

"Highlighting each decade's triumphs and re-assessing the most disparaged aspects of design within that period, the books are part time capsule and part analysis. These fully illustrated reference manuals will prove to be an indispensable tool for collectors: names are named, designs praised and accusations made."San Francisco Examiner MagazineUnited States |

"Now German publisher TASCHEN has had the wonderful idea of republishing an edition of facsimile extracts from these annuals devoted to architecture and decorative art. They are precious reference tools for antique specialists, designers, historians, or curious minds longing to capture the spirit of an age."Azure magazineUnited States |

Love your new books! Dear Charlotte & Peter, I just purchased your new "Decorative Arts "series and I wanted to write to say how amazingly wonderful they are. I am a Set Decorator in the film business and these are like decorating 'bibles'. I also have "1000 Chairs" and "Design of the 20th Century" which I also love. I have been e-mailing to all of my Set Decorating friends to run out and buy these books. Don't stop!!! Thank you so much.Claudette DidulUnited States |
