‘London’s Art Deco Sculpture’ is the newest ebook by author Gregory Edwards, and while the ambience is still on Art Deco architecture, the subject matter has shifted to the sculpture that sometimes accompanies it. The human form is the main feature of this volume (a second part is expected), not surprising as sculpture has always had the human figure as its most important component. There is an examination of London’s major architectural sculpture programmes, then separate chapters examining various aspects of the human figure in mid-war architecture. This was the last great style where sculpture was associated with architecture, the early modern phase. ‘London’s Art Deco Sculpture’ is profusely illustrated, and also includes addresses for all the buildings referred to so readers can make their own Art Deco discoveries in the open air sculpture gallery of the city.
