In this book, the author explores a panorama of fashion, decoration, stage and screen to show how the Baroque has not only survived into our own century but has flourished in all areas of the arts and media. He looks at the haughty extravagances of couture, the theatrical affectation of Hollywood, the fantastical whimsies of architecture and design, and he demonstrated how Baroque tendencies have cross-fertilized throughout the century.
