Catalan art déco is an unknown artistic style. For the first time, this book provides readers with a panoramic view of a highly creative art period in the context of Barcelona’s 1929 International Exposition. This text studies art déco from the inside while paying special attention to decorative art. To do so, it takes into account the voices of this style’s main characters in fields such as visual arts or architecture. The text analyzes art déco as a new style connected to the period’s bourgeoisie and modern life. In fact, it reflects the optimism that preceded the start of the Spanish Civil War.
