Title
ART DÉCO ARCHITECTURE IN CYPRUS FROM THE 1930s TO THE 1950s.
Abstract
This paper classifies the Cypriot Art Déco and addresses it, for the first time, as the dominating modernist variant of the 1930s-1940s in Cyprus. We argue that, out of several Art Déco trends, the Mendelsohnian streamline moderne is by far the prevalent and is characterized by a common, rounded architectural morphology. Main sources of this "Mediterranean Art Déco", more or less immediate, are primarily France, England, Athens, and a now partially anonymous local architectural elite.
