Art deco by the sea

Uittreksel

Art Deco by the Sea' is a major new book and exhibition examining British coastal culture between the First and Second World Wars. Beautifully illustrated, the book traces how the British seaside changed during a new age of mass tourism. It examines how coastal resorts developed, and how transport networks, by road, rail and sea, were modernised. The book celebrates iconic examples of Art Deco architecture, from hotels and apartment blocks to cinemas and lidos. This volume also explores how the seaside changed with the advent of the healthy body culture, when sunbathing, swimming and a host of other outdoor activities became fashionable. The title features essays on architecture, transport, painting, posters, interiors and amusement-park and fairground design.
