"The decade of unparalleled creativity, marked midway by the Paris 1925 Exhibition of the Decorative Arts, saw development in textile and wallpaper design, in book production and graphics, in fashion, jewelry, glassware and ceramics. Martin Battersby analyzes in detail the work of the great artists, designers and decorators in France, England and America - Paul Poiret, Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann, Rene Lalique, Jean Dunand, Syrie Mangham, Elsie de Wolfe - and the movements and technical innovations that influenced them."
