Description
A book reviewer once described Arnold Schwartzman as "a trufflehound with a Nikon," praising his passion and inquisitive eye. In Miami Art Deco, Schwartzman's sixth photographic book on Art Deco architecture, he turns his lens on the tropical sun-bleached facades of Miami Beach's pastel palaces.
Following the devastating Miami hurricane of 1926, a square-mile of Miami Beach was redeveloped in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. The Miami Beach Architectural Historic District, known as the Art Deco area, now encompasses over eight hundred buildings and is the largest concentration of Art Deco architecture in the world.
Schwartzman's stunning photography captures many of these unique buildings, from the hotels and nightclubs of Ocean Drive to the Miami Post Office, all heavily influenced by the sea and nautical life. This book of Deco delights should prove to be a delicious sundowner for the connoisseur of the Art Deco style.
AUTHOR: Arnold Schwartzman is an Oscar-winning filmmaker, a noted graphic designer, and the author of many books including London Art Deco (2013), Art Deco (2018), and Arts & Crafts (2021). He began his design career in British television before moving to Hollywood in 1978.
