Summary:

"In 1924 the German architect Erich Mendelsohn made an extensive trip across the United States, taking photographs of modern architecture, which he published in a popular photobook, Amerika: Bilderbuch eines Architekten (America : An Architect's Picturebook, 1925). He was a talented amateur photographer, and his images are powerfully expressive, romantic in the mode of Alfred Stieglitz, and like Stieglitz's work, a combination of the pictorial and the modernist."--The Photobook : A History Volume I / Martin Parr and Gerry Badger. London : Phaidon, 2004
