Revolutionary essays on design, aesthetics and materialism - from one of the great masters of modern architecture.
Adolf Loos (1877-1933) was a leading Austro-Hungarian architect,
perhaps most famous for the revolutionary 'Loos House' opposite the
Hofburg Palace in Vienna, which caused outrage when it was built in
1912, and the wonderful American Bar, also in Vienna. He wrote
extensively on architecture and design, working in reaction to the
elaborate mass of decoration celebrated by the Vienna Secession
movement.
Joseph Masheck, modern art and architectural historian and critic,
and sometime editor-in-chief of Artforum, was awarded the 2018
Distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award for Writing on Artof the
College Art Association.
