Look up for inspiration and beauty
MELBOURNE ART DECOIn 2009 Robin Grow published a book on Melbourne Art Deco, with images largely supplied by David Thompson. The book quickly sold out and he is pleased to say that it has now been re-published by Brolga Press, with updates, errors corrected and a new cover.
Best of all, it is selling for about $25 in the shops and on-line. Art Deco & Modernism Society members can purchase a copy from me for $22, (includes postage within Australia). For overseas orders please email for postage rates. Contact me at robingrow@ozemail.com.au if you are interested, and advise if you would like the book to be dedicated and/or signed.

Deco always looks smart, geometric and unfussy, doesn't it? Even after all these decades, Shepparton's courthouse still looks in great shape.
ReplyDeleteEverything belongs to its era, but some styles look very dated and old fashioned faster than others.
I agree wholehearted;y although I may be a tad biased.
