Baroque Baroque The Culture of Excess

by Stephen Calloway

London: Phaidon, 1994. A nice copy of this large lavish coffee-table book outlining decorative excess and sumptuousness in interiors, art, personal dress throughout the Twentieth century. Illustrated throughout and full of well-known and obscure artists, designed and personalities. Christian Berard, John Piper, Eliot Hodgkin, Piero Fornasetti,  Charles de Beistegui, Cecil Beaton, etc., etc. A little light sunning to spine.
