Hi Helen, Half your luck. Trust your having a great time. The bus shelter is a bit outside my area of expertise (if in fact I have one). The park was laid out in the 1950s with much involvement by Oscar Niemeyer. I call it Modernist which is a as general a term as Art Deco but its as good as I can do.
MELBOURNE ART DECO
In 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.
Hi from Italy, David
ReplyDeleteHow would you define the style of this bus shelter?

Impressive, beats the ones in Melbourne!
