American Art Deco by Carla Breeze, ISBN 9780393019704

> House & Garden Books > Homes & Interiors Books > Architecture Books Author: Carla Breeze This book features descriptions and over 500 colour photographs of 75 opulent buildings. The photographs document interiors, exteriors, and details of deco skyscrapers, courthouses, theatres, and other significant buildings. American art deco was unique, unlike their European counterparts, architects in the united states had "exotic" indigenous cultures for inspiration. Arts such as Navajo chiefs' blankets, Hopi pottery, and Sioux beadwork, characterised by geometric ornament, were easily assimilated into the art deco style. Regionalism, a good example of which is the prairie style, advocated by Frank Lloyd Wright and other progressive architects also influenced American art deco. America's pioneering and westward migration provided powerful themes and motifs, producing an art deco with authentic national and regional characteristics.
