A propos de cet article

New/New: 264 page hardbound, 1st printing of 1st edition book. Review from the Library Journal: "Amazingly, there has been no full-length monograph on this California architect since David Gebhard's Schindler ( LJ 6/15/72). Schindler was one of two important modern architects in Southern California in the first half of the 20th century, the other being Richard Neutra, and his work shares with Neutra's a Viennese flavor. Sheine and March curated the year-long "Schindlerfest" at UCLA in 1987, and this book caps that celebration. Like the last major publication on Schindler, August Sarnitz's R.M. Schindler, Architect: 1887-1953 (Rizzoli, 1988), this generously illustrated volume compiles about 20 essays by noted scholars. While one is reading these various articles, Schindler emerges as far more interesting than important, presaging much of what has emerged as a California school in architecture over the past 25 years. - Peter Kaufman, Boston Coll." Not an ex-library book. Please refer to photos for more information. Binding, spine and pages are tight clean and crisp.

A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

A contemporary of Le Corbusier and one-time employee of Frank Lloyd Wright, R.M. Schindler was architect of (amongst much else of note) the Lovell Beach House in California, acknowledged to be one of the key modernist buildings of the 1920s. This book, a reappraisal of Schindler's thought and works, presents plans, line drawings and photographs of buildings and furniture. A selection of Schindler's own writings is included, alongside articles by many scholars of the architect's works that trace Schindler's career on both sides of the Atlantic, from his early days in Vienna studying under Wagner, to his later life in America, where his talents found full expression.
