Art Deco started in France in the 1920's, then expanded across Europe and the US as a symbol of optimism and confidence in the future, but it ended with WWII. Let's explore a few of London Art Deco buildings and enjoy their glamour! We will talk about:
- The debate in 1920's: decorate or not decorate? This is the (not trivial) dilemma!
- Examples of London Buildings: RHS Floral Hall, Loughton Station, Trinity Court, Wallis Building, Daimler Car Hire Garage, Carreras Cigarette Factory, Victoria Embankment, Daily Express, Daily Telegraph, Savoy hotel, BBC building
There is time for Q&A and conversation..

I have a big passion for history of art and architecture and I love presenting on different art topics, making them relevant and interesting for all audiences. My knowledge is based on academic studies, guiding art and architecture tours in London as well as going to exhibitions on my own and talking to artists. Example of topics of my talks: art & music, art & wine, art & fashion, the architecture of London. Ad-hoc art topics can be agreed with the organisation.
My art tour organisation is called Art Tours with a Theme - ART wiT and you can check out my activity on Instagram @artwit_london and Facebook @artwitlondon. My talks are offered in-person in London and online. You can have a look at my past talks on my YouTube channel (youtube.com/channel/UCZZIqTNVyZZDNZcwnw3kIpw).
