This book examines the 'culture of excess' in all its twentieth-century manifestations. Fashion, film, photography, design and decoration: all feature in Stephen Calloway's consideration. The author examines early examples of Baroque excess as well as the darker Baroque spirit of the wartime Neo-Romantics or film-makers such as Fellini and Jarman.
