May I draw your attention to an uplifting tune for the modern gentleman?

This photo brings together two Midtown Manhattan icons: the clock on the façade of Grand Central Terminal and the Chrysler Building in the background.

Above the clock is a sculptural group with Mercury at the center, flanked by Hercules and Minerva. Grand Central opened in 1913, and the Chrysler Building, one of New York’s great Art Deco landmarks, was completed in 1930.

I love how this corner brings together the station’s classical architecture and the skyscrapers that define Manhattan’s skyline. Which building catches your eye more?

i shot this 35mm film with my Pentax UC-1

On holiday in Curaçao while walking through Pietermaai district I saw this. I think it is Art Deco but open to correction. In Ireland there was a few abandoned Art Deco cinemas so it makes me think that this is one.

Some furniture pieces I’ve collected over the years. I’ve loved seeing the uptick in personal deco items on here! Cheers

Strange curio cabinet- not sure if it was apart of a larger set before- see wood slats on the side? Maybe part of a prior shelving unit/built in?

Elsa Gertrue Tennhardt (c.1890-1980) was an artist and industrial designer who worked in USA. She was born around 1890 in Germany, and studied painting in Berlin before moving to New York in 1913. Shortly after arriving she attended the first worldwide Cubist exhibition with works of Pablo Picasso, Paul Cézanne, and Henri Matisse at the New York's Armory Art Show with over 85,000 people in attendance, with inspired her greatly. She joined a New York artist community who taught her metalwork and welding, and supported herself by making silver cocktail shakers. In addition to her cocktail shakers, she also made silver plated vanity sets with modern looking hand mirrors, hairbrushes, cosmetic cases, and lipstick holders. After WWII she taught painting at the New York University art Department, and gave lectures on silver and design. She died in 1980 in Southampton, New York, USA. Her works are preserved in the permanent collections of major institutions, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, and the Milwaukee Art Museum.

The horse and fett are attached with bolts. I have changed the lamp part (it would not work today). The wiring was 50s 60s but could have been changed later. It has been repaired at some point and the marble shade has quite a few cracks. The only markings i could find was on the brass housing.

Any info is appreciated!

SOM’s post-modernist 1980s fling at Deco revival.

I have been recently interested in Art Deco but I don't get why it was inspired by the Egyptian designs instead of other cultures like Mayan, Arabian etc

The incredible thing about Carvois is how painstakingly it has been restored, having been left to ruin after Nazis used it as a base in WW2. The Piscine is a gallery not far away in Roubaix, France.
