"This is an invitation to discover the spectacular world of French Art Deco textiles. Hundreds of full-color photographs bring to life the age when craftsmanship and industry worked side by side: Lyons silk and the first artificial fibers, carved wooden printing blocks and huge multiple-cylinder rotary presses, indigo and madder and aniline and alizarin dyes, tradition and progress. By turns sumptuous or minimalist, featuring extravagant floral patterns or simple arrangements of shapes and colors, timelessly classical or celebrating the most recent triumphs of contemporary life, these fabrics will provide endless inspiration to designers and collectors, and enthrall anyone eager to understand the role textiles played in the evolution of Art Deco."--Book jacket.
