In Melbourne Art Deco, Robin Grow, President of the Art Deco & Modernism Society, examines the rise, fall and resurgence of Art Deco in Melbourne from the 1930s to the present day. With contemporary images by David Thompson and a team of photographers, supported by archival material, Melbourne Art Deco offers an invaluable insight into history and current state of one of the city's most popular styles.
Formerly a bank, but it also reminds me of inter-war memorials built to honour the young men lost in WW1. Solid, not fussy, eternal!
ReplyDeleteCompare the bank with, for example, the 1921 cenotaph in London by Lutyens
