Art & design styles: Art Deco; Architecture; Egyptian archaeology & Egyptology

Published on the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb and the 200th anniversary of the deciphering of the Rosetta stone, this book responds to the ever-growing enthusiasm and curiosity for Egyptomania.

This concept refers to a collective imagination which was nurtured throughout the 19th and 20th centuries by archaeological digs and exploratory trips. These key discoveries were crucial for creation and particularly for the Art Deco artists who found their inspiration in Egyptian lines and patterns.

Egyptomanie & Art Déco explores the origins and functioning of this cultural and artistic movement shaped by many fields: architecture, cinema, sculpture, popular art, theatre and fashion.

Egyptomanie & Art Déco comes with an explicit and previously unseen iconography.

Text in French.
