Une exploration majeure de l’œuvre de l’architecte américain Bruce Goff, incluant peintures, objets et éphémères longtemps éclipsés par son héritage architectural. Considéré comme l’un des architectes les plus innovants et audacieux du XXᵉ siècle, Bruce Goff (1904–1982) a imaginé, tout au long d’une carrière de plus de soixante ans, une architecture américaine moderne radicalement indépendante. Il débute très jeune ― à seulement douze ans ― comme apprenti dans une agence d’architecture à Tulsa, dans l’Oklahoma. À contre-courant du modernisme mesuré de l’après-guerre, Goff conçoit des maisons individuelles à la fois habitables et aventureuses, aux relations spatiales radicales, et imagine également des espaces commerciaux et industriels de grande échelle, à l’esthétique résolument visionnaire. Si son œuvre architecturale a souvent éclipsé son activité artistique tout aussi expérimentale, ce livre embrasse l’ampleur totale de sa créativité, qui circule librement entre médiums et pratiques. Il met en lumière 150 objets, parmi lesquels des dessins et maquettes d’architecture, des peintures abstraites, ainsi que des photographies, éphémères et fragments de bâtiments. Nourrie de traditions culturelles et artistiques variées ― de l’art amérindien à la menuiserie japonaise, en passant par les paysages de la science-fiction ― l’œuvre de Goff constitue une synthèse singulière d’influences multiples. À travers des essais consacrés à son lien avec les Grandes Plaines, à sa vision moderniste queer et à sa conception unique de la création artistique, cet ouvrage établit des connexions critiques entre la vie et l’œuvre de Bruce Goff.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. A major exploration of the work of American architect Bruce Goff, including the paintings, objects, and ephemera often overshadowed by his architectural legacy Celebrated as one of the most innovative and daring architects of the twentieth century, Bruce Goff (19041982) imagined a truly independent modern American architecture throughout his six-decade-long career, which began when he was just twelve years old, working as an apprentice at an architectural firm in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Distinguishing himself from the restrained modernism of the postwar period, Goff created single-family homes that were at once livable and adventurous, featuring radical spatial relationships, and designed fantastical large-scale commercial and industrial spaces. His architectural legacy often overshadows his equally experimental artistic career; this book explores the full sweep of Goff's creativity, which flowed between media and artistic practices. It highlights 150 objects, including architectural drawings and models; abstract paintings; and photographs, ephemera, and building fragments. Inspired by a range of cultural and artistic traditions, from Native American art to Japanese joinery and the landscapes of science fiction, Goff's work represents a unique synthesis of diverse influences. In essays on Goff's connection to the Great Plains, his distinctly queer modernist vision, and his unique genesis of the arts, this book draws critical connections between Goff's life and work.

Hardback. Etat : New. A major exploration of the work of American architect Bruce Goff, including the paintings, objects, and ephemera often overshadowed by his architectural legacy Celebrated as one of the most innovative American architects of the twentieth century, Bruce Goff (1904-1982) practiced an unbounded modernism that was deeply embedded in the Midwest and Great Plains. He is best known for idiosyncratic single-family homes in suburban and rural areas across the United States that explode with color and texture-as well as cellophane, coal, goose feathers, and sequins. Dubbed the "Michelangelo of kitsch," Goff rejected the minimalist aesthetics of his midcentury contemporaries and forged an architecture of fantastical, yet real, invention.Expanding out from his distinctive architectural drawings, this groundbreaking study presents new research on the full breadth of Goff's creative practice, from his wide-ranging personal collections and work in mixed-media bricolage to his lifelong engagement with painting and music. Thematic essays by curators and scholars explore Goff's diverse influences including Native American art, science fiction, queer modernism, and East and Southeast Asian art and music. This richly illustrated book features many previously unpublished works by Goff as well as a new portfolio of architectural photography by artist Janna Ireland.
