Synopsis

Discover of a lost Los Angeles from an era before the freeways in this beautiful coffee table book from iconic architectural photographer Arnold Hylen.

Finalist, Foreword INDIES, Regional (Adult Nonfiction)

Los Angeles Before the Freeways: Images of An Era 1850-1950 gives a lush, visual tour of a Los Angeles that no longer exists—one of elegant office buildings and stately mansions that were razed in the name of “progress” to build the city’s famous freeways. Featuring stunning black-and-white photography from Arnold Hylen that captures a lost era, the book contains an original essay by the photographer that provides historical background and context for the time period. This new edition contains additional, never-before-seen photographs from Hylen and newly unearthed information from historian Nathan Marsak on these lost architectural treasures.

À propos de l'auteur

Arnold Hylen (1908-1987) was a commercial and architectural photographer based in Los Angeles. Between the late 1940s and the late 1960s, Hylen traversed the streets of Los Angeles, photographing its vanishing landscape. He contributed photographs to St. Vibiana’s: Los Angeles Cathedral (1950) and produced a slim folio The Vanishing Face of Los Angeles (1968). His two books are Bunker Hill: A Los Angeles Landmark (1976) and Los Angeles Before the Freeways (1981).

Nathan Marsak studied under the eminent historian of Los Angeles, Reyner Banham, at University of California, Santa Cruz, and completed his graduate work with noted Sullivan/Wright scholar Narciso Menocal at University of Wisconsin, Madison. He worked on the curatorial staff of Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art and served as historian for the LAPD Museum archives. He is also the author of Bunker Hill Los Angeles and Los Angeles Neon. He lives in Los Angeles.
