Lecture 1 - The Art of Art Deco
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.
Lecture 2 - British Art Deco Architecture: Our love affair with Domestic and Civic Buildings of the 1920s and 1930s
From hotels, restaurants and tube stations to apartment blocks, offices, picture houses and lidos, the British public fell in love with Art Deco architecture of the 1920s and 1930s and embraced it whole-heartedly.
Lecture 3 - Tamara de Lempicka:The Epitome of Art Deco Portraiture
What is it about this extraordinary artist who broke away from the mould, and was so unique in her stylistic output when compared to that of her peers? And what makes her work so popular and desirable for certain art collectors?
