Synopsis

Insieme a Piet Mondrian, uno dei maggiori protagonisti del movimento d'avanguardia De Stijl, Gerrit Rietveld (1888-1964) con i suoi progetti ha completamente cambiato lo sviluppo dell'architettura e del design nel ventesimo secolo. I due lavori più noti di Rietveld sono la "Sedia rosso blu" e la "Schroder House" che hanno influenzato generazioni e generazioni di architetti e designers. Il volume è riccamente illustrato con fotografie, disegni, dipinti e materiale d'archivio che testimoniano ogni periodo della vita di Rietveld, includendo anche numerose immagini inedite.

À propos de l?auteur

Ida van Zijl is deputy director of the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, the holder of the main collection of Rietveld's work. Since the late 1970s, she has studied Rietveld and has complete access not only to the museum's collection of documents, but also to those held by his family and friends. She was the editor of Gerrit Rietveld: The Complete Works (published in 1992), a catalogue of his work.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

From his first great design masterpiece, the Red-Blue Chair, to his final design for the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Gerrit Rietveld (1888-1964) created a significant body of work and left a remarkable legacy. His simple yet dynamic design style has greatly affected international furniture design and has made a significant contribution to the history of architecture. This detailed yet accessible monograph is structured chronologically and richly illustrated with photographs and sketches of Reitveld's furniture design and his architectural projects, and it is designed by Wim Crowel, the best-known Dutch graphic designer. Following Rietveld from his humble beginnings as a cabinet-maker to his final years as a world-renowned architect, this book will present both his lesser-known work and his most celebrated, such as the Schröder House of 1924 and the Zigzag Chair of 1934. It will explore his significance in the wider context of avant-garde movements, and his influence within De Stijl and Functionalism. Most crucially, this book will give Rietveld the attention he has long deserved as a designer and architect, presenting a comprehensive coverage of his output and a full analysis of his achievements.
