Further details of this day together with a booking form will be available nearer the date

Art Deco has the reputation of being the most glamorous and popular style of the 20th century which was prevalent during the 1920s and 1930s. We will review the development of the style within the context of its social and economic environment and look at specific examples of objets d’arts, including silver, jewellery, furniture, ceramics, clocks and architecture.  
The range of designers, craftsmen and artists that we will contemplate will include, but not limited to, E-J Ruhlmann, René Lalique, Tamara de Lempicka, Jean Dupas, Georgia O’Keeffe, Eileen Gray, Romain de Tirtoff (Erté), René Vincent and English ceramicist, Clarice Cliff.In addition to some examples of domestic and civic Art Deco buildings in the UK, we will also touch on certain architectural buildings in New York, Miami, Mumbai, and Napier, thus confirming Art Deco’s full global reach and appeal. 
This talk on the overview of the Art Deco movement can stand alone as a single lecture or make for an introductory lecture to an Art Deco-themed Study Day, combining The Art of Art Deco, The Art of 1935, Marion Dorn, Tamara Lempicka and our love affair with British Art Deco Architecture.

Members attending the Special Interest Day will also be able to handle original Art Deco artefacts on the day.
