Books by Arnold Schwartzman

Following on from Art Deco, this is the second volume of Arnold Schwartzman's trilogy on the architecture of the late 19th and early 20th Century, in which he focuses on a group of British craftsmen who decided to turn their backs on the mass production of the Industrial Revolution to form a "Round Table" in order to establish a means of returning to hand-crafted products. William Morris, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and in America, Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Comfort Tiffany and Greene and Greene were among these like-minded artisans who wished in essence to create a movement which embodied a vision and style that returned to the Golden Age of craftsmanship.

A grand celebration of London's architecture of the 'Romantic Age' of the 1920s and 1930s, now in paperback. Takes readers on a stunning visual journey through London's Art Deco cinemas, theatres, hotels, department stores, Underground stations, factories, and civic, corporate and residential buildings. Lovingly compiled and presented by an Oscar-winning film maker. NOV/DEC STOP PRESS 2013
