| Sumario: | This new account of international modernism explores the complex motivations behind this revolutionary movement and assesses its triumphs and failures. The work of the main architects of the period, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Adolf Loos, Le Corbusier, and Mies van der Rohe is re-examined, shedding new light on their roles as acknowledged masters. Author Colquhoun explores the evolution of the movement from the 1890s to the 1960s, revealing the often contradictory demands of form, function, social engagement, modernity, and tradition. |
