Baroque Baroque
Now available for the first time in paperback, this extraordinary book examines the culture of excess in all its twentieth-century manifestations. Fashion, film, photography, design and interior decoration - all feature in Stephen Calloways meticulous coverage of the colourful, the opulent and the theatrical.
The author examines early examples of Baroque excess - by the Sitwells, Cecil Beaton, Angus McBean and others - as well as the darker Baroque spirit of the wartime Neo-Romantics and film-makers such as Fellini and Jarman. Tracing the Baroque tendency all the way into the 1990s, he shows how ideas have been cross-fertilized, providing links between such unlikely bedfellows as Leon Bakst and Luis Bun~uel, Coco Chanel and Nigel Coates, Liberace and Lacroix.
Illustrated with a wealth of photographs, this book provides a celebration that is truly Baroque in substance and in spirit.
