Résumé:
Alvar Aalto (1898–1976) is universally recognized as one of the masters of Modernist architecture. While the remarkable buildings he designed have been much studied, the story of how a young architect from a village in western Finland achieved such international prominence is little known. This new biography of Aalto is the first to offer a comprehensive and objective survey of his life, from growing up in the Finnish provinces to finding global acclaim, and also covers all his projects, from early work in Jyväskylä in the 1920s to Finlandia Hall, completed in Helsinki in 1971.

Résumé:
Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (1898-1976), the most important Finnish architect of the twentieth century, was also one of the most noteworthy modern furniture designers. His complete system of furniture-including stools, chairs, armchairs, and tea trolley with oversized wheels, all characterized by curving lines-was considered exemplary and acquired by the New York Museum of Modern Art as early as 1938. In collaboration with his first wife Aino Marsio (1894-1949), he also designed organic, floral forms in glass. His legendary Savoy Vase of 1936, created for the hotel of the same name, and the group of bowls designed to be combined to form the "Aalto Flower" have often been compared to sculptures and paintings of Classical Modernism. This extensive publication presents the pioneering furniture, glass objects, and lamps of Alvar and Aino Aalto in a large selection of photographs, paintings, drawings, and sketches. Texts by Björn Egging, Thomas Kellein.

Résumé:
Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) est à la Finlande ce que Picasso est à l'Espagne ou James Joyce à l'Irlande. Architecte, il a dessiné et construit des bâtiments, des luminaires, de la vaisselle et des meubles, autant de créations qui désormais symbolisent le pays des 180 000 lacs. Plus que tout, il a fait de la courbe sa signature, puisant son inspiration dans la nature, jouant de la lumière rasante du soleil de minuit, magnifiant la neige et les forêts de bouleaux. Né à une époque où l'éclectisme régnait en maître, il a au fil des années parcouru les styles, du romantisme national au modernisme pur et dur, avant d'assouplir son oeuvre en s'ouvrant à l'humanisme. Alvar Aalto, ou l'architecture réenchantée.
