TY - BOOK N2 - "Vibrant and emotional, Spanish Art Deco brings a unique twist to the style of this era. Neither classically refined like French Deco, nor streamlined like American, Spanish Deco shows the influences of its own distinctive culture. Here was a highly industrialized country on the cusp of the advertising age, bringing to commercial design its own sense of style and of the avant-garde. It was also a country in the throes of social strife, and Deco Espana reveals the power of graphic design used for political as well as commercial purposes - notably in the posters created in the tumultuous days of the Spanish Civil War, many of which are reproduced here for the first time."--Jacket.
