THIS ACCLAIMED BOOK IS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE MONOGRAPH ON ARCHITECT AND DESIGNER MARCEL BREUER (1902–1981), ONE OF THE LEADING FIGURES OF MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN. IT LOOKS IN DETAIL AT HIS HOUSES, FURNITURE, AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS IN EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES, FROM HIS EARLY YEARS AT THE BAUHAUS THROUGH HIS COLLABORATION WITH WALTER GROPius AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF HIS OWN PRACTICE. WRITTEN BY ARCHITECT AND HISTORIAN ROBERT McCARTER, THE FIRST EDITION OF THIS VOLUME WAS DESCRIBED AS A “SERIOUS STUDY” BY FINANCIAL TIMES AND PRAISED FOR REALIGNING BREUER’S POSITION IN THE CANON OF MODERN MASTERS. THIS DEFINITIVE MONOGRAPH EXAMINES BOTH HIS ARCHITECTURAL WORK AND HIS DESIGN PRACTICE, WITH DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, FURNITURE, AND UNREALIZED PROJECTS INCLUDING HIS ICONIC WASSILY AND CESCA CHAIRS.
