Derived from various avant-garde painting styles of the early twentieth century; the Art Deco movement comprised a mix of Cubism; abstraction; distortion; and simplification. Geometric shapes and vibrant colors were popular elements of this sophisticated style of ornamentation that found expression in architecture and the applied arts.This collection of sensuous; bold and exotic motifs; reprinted from a rare 1910 portfolio; contains a wealth of arresting Art Deco wallpaper patterns. 160 striking; royalty-free designs--a must-have collection for designers and craftworkers--depict a breathtaking array of florals; geometrics; and abstract designs; all stunning in their presentation and elegant in their simplicity.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Whats this?By Amy M. BarbeeI got the book; feeling really excited; when I opened it up and started looking at it. The book I got is missing six whole songs and a lot of the verses of the other ones. I dont know if I just got a misprint or something; but this is horrible. The chords from what I played seemed pretty good; but because of the missing content I am even doubting if it is even really artist approved. If you get a misprint like mine I would definitely send it back. If you get one in tact; it could be a great book. Now since my return window is closed; I am stuck with an incomplete book unless I want to buy a whole new one. Very disappointed!! :(2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Easy to followBy MeliconThis book is very simple to follow if you already know the songs and you just want to know the chords and strumming patterns. A capo is needed for 4 of the songs. As the description says; it is just the chords and lyrics. There is not an instruction page; it goes right from a table of contents to the first song. I would have like an introduction page to clarify what their strumming symbols mean; instead it just took some trial and error to find what works. The strumming patterns are represented by lines and the chords (for example; I; II; G; IG; IIG; etc). It does not specify whether there are any up strokes but that leaves a little wiggle room for experimenting for the musician. I like how the book keeps the songs a little vague so that I can add on and add some of my own style into the songs.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Could have been everything I wanted but...By MWWhen a book is called "Sing and Strum" I would have expected some strumming patterns as well. There arent any; it is just list of songs with lyrics and chords. So if that is what you are looking for; you could save money by looking that up on the internet.
