Art Deco

Art Deco seduced the world and the Mediterranean was its showcase. In two short decades, from 1919 to 1939, a polymorphic style began to develop, brutally cut short by the Second World War. An unprecedented inspiration overtook creators, designers, architects, whose works now comprise the pantheon of modern art.
But what architectural, cultural and financial heritage have those “wild years” left on the shores of the Mediterranean? This is what this work sets out to answer through lightbox photographs and archives.
