A major design movement of the 1920s and 1930s; Art Deco drew its strength from architecture; modern art; primitivism; and industry. It gave us the Chrysler Building and Soviet post art mdash; and also gave us a legacy that continues to pulse with energy and excitement even today.In this rich collection of 349 images; the Art Deco style is evident in every draping vine; languid curve; bulging muscle; and geometric figure. It will leap out at you from friezes; plaques; sculpture; vases; doorways; tiles; furniture; arches; and more.Its a splendid book for anyone interested in the arts mdash; and for artists and craftsmen; a genuine wellspring of artistic ideas.

Other essays feel like they dont belong in this book; but Willis was special.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Essential ReadingBy WinslowHonestly; one of the best books I have ever read. I thought I was reasonably well-read in feminism; but if I was recommending just one book to someone who wasnt sure what to think about feminism; it would be this one. If everyone just read No More Nice Girls we could avoid a lot of misconceptions about the movement and; more importantly; how to move forward; women; men and everyone in between.
