It stood for a modernity that was pragmatic and ornamental rather than utopian and functional, and it became the great shaper of modern desire and taste, leaving its characteristic stamp on Western society in the early decades of the 20th century.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn elegant and stylish addition to any design library.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 540\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 x 11.9 x 9.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 28, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51747719217440,"sku":"9788470756290","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/43d630d7500cdd02d87a46a9d8a4d173_a9736399-32f2-4671-9c29-26d1da633ead.webp?v=1779899683","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/modern-taste-art-deco-in-paris-1910-1935-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
