Summary:
Early in Sullivan's career in the 1890s, when he emerged as a leading skyscraper architect of Chicago, his ornament gave scale and quality to his work. After 1900, as his career declined, it served to identify his buildings and the humane conception they encapsulated in an increasingly hostile cityscape. The brilliant(...)

Summary:
Early in Sullivan's career in the 1890s, when he emerged as a leading skyscraper architect of Chicago, his ornament gave scale and quality to his work. After 1900, as his career declined, it served to identify his buildings and the humane conception they encapsulated in an increasingly hostile cityscape. The brilliant pencil execution of ornament in his old age became a surrogate for the great architectural projects realized earlier. This extended essay on how Sullivan's ornament shaped the city is illuminated by new colour photographs by Cervin Robinson.

Summary:
Le Corbusier is famous for his dictum that "a house is a machine for living in." What he meant by this was that architecture must be at the service of all of us: it must facilitate our daily lives and the relationships between us and it must, above all, provide a comfortable home. To achieve this, each element of the house must be part of a well-oiled machine.This(...)

Summary:
Le Corbusier is famous for his dictum that "a house is a machine for living in." What he meant by this was that architecture must be at the service of all of us: it must facilitate our daily lives and the relationships between us and it must, above all, provide a comfortable home. To achieve this, each element of the house must be part of a well-oiled machine.This introduction to the architecture and ideas of Le Corbusier for children of ten and over – it will fascinate architecture-minded adults too – brings to life the man, the architect, his work and the world in which he lived. The words are his own and with the accompanying photographs and drawings serve to reveal the philosophy behind the architecture.

Summary:
The book explores the origins and development of early 20th-century modernism in America through the lens of the major exhibitions that introduced this art to the general public. The author shows how modern artists and curators sought to relate high art to mass culture in order to make it accessible to more people, and successfully popularized modern painting and design during the interwar years.A major contribution to our understanding of the origins of modernism, this book captures the vibrant diversity that the term “modern art” meant at this time. The chapters examine exhibitions held in New York in the 1920s and 1930s, including those organized by Alfred Stieglitz, the Little Review, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art.
