Art Deco: Spot Illustrations and Motifs
ART DECO SPOT ILLUSTRATIONS AND MOTIFS 513 ORIGINAL DESIGNS
BY WILLIAM ROWE
DOVER PUBLICATIONS, INC., NEW YORK
PUBLISHER’S NOTE The designs presented on these pages are William Rowe’s latest interpretations of Art Deco, a style into which he has breathed new life. As in previous volumes (Original Art Deco Designs, 22567-4; New Art Deco Borders and Motifs, 24709-0), the artist incorporates stylized themes taken from nature into designs rendered with a masterly control of black and white. The results are capable of almost infinite adaptation: Portions can be added or omitted, according to need and preference; the central sections of many motifs, left empty, can be filled with elements of appropriate shape that Mr. Rowe has provided.
