Deco Espana represents a rich and virtually unknown treasure of graphic design history, detailing the defining characteristics that distinguish the Mediterranean style Spanish Art Deco design from that of classic French Deco or streamlined American Deco design. From its appearance in the political posters of the Spanish Civil War to its use in advertising the post-war automobile and travel industries, and from its emergence in the packaging of Spanish wine and cosmetics to its brilliant use in the graphic posters of the Spanish theater, the Art Deco style puts on a lively show in Deco Espana. This book not only represents an important area of graphic design study, but signifies an entire era of Spanish cultural history.
