Summary:	In large format and bilingual text, are lavishly illustrated, extensive research by leading expert on Brazilian Art Deco, Marcio Roiter. In Brazil the movement was longest, lasting until the 1950s mainly in Rio de Janeiro. The book covers the relationship to art, architecture, furniture design, film, fashion, literature and reveals the Who's Who in the Art Deco world of Rio. It is an ode to the city which boasted in its fullness the wonderful title, surmounted by the engineering feat baptized Christ the Redeemer, the largest Art Deco statue in the world. By unfolding on the particulars of aesthetics, the specialist demonstrates how the ancient capital seduced architects, artists and intellectuals, Brazilians and foreigners (Frank Lloyd Wright, Warchavchik, Gall, Marinetti, Blaise Cendrars, Brecheret, Dorothy Draper, Stefan Zweig, etc.), and attracted beauties such as Josephine Baker, Carmen Miranda and Luz del Fuego. Detailing the canons of style, the work reveals the purely Brazilian trend, Art Deco Marajoara that yielded demonstrations and manifestos, architecture and art.
