Fashion, film, photography, design and interior decoration - all feature in Stephen Calloway's meticulous coverage of the colourful, the opulent and the theatrical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 Buñuel, Coco Chanel and Nigel Coates, Liberace and Lacroix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrated with a wealth of photographs, this book provides a celebration that is truly Baroque in substance and in spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phaidon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44891994423525,"sku":"NP9780714838601","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/76d61e10-32d6-4f48-91d0-adbc017a4640.jpg?v=1767831591","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/baroque-baroque-isbn-9780714838601","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
