Specifications
In the architecture of Richard Neutra (1892–1970), interior and exterior spaces find perfect modernist harmony. As the California sun reflects on the sleek surfaces of buildings, extensive glass walls allow for panoramic views over mountains, gardens, palm trees, and pools. Neutra immigrated to the United States from his homeland, Vienna, in 1923 and settled in Los Angeles. He showcased his sense of architectural settings early with the Lovell House, located on a landscaped hill with views of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains. Later works like the Kaufmann House and the Nesbitt House continue this composition of art, landscapes, and living comfort, with Neutra’s clients often receiving detailed questionnaires to determine their precise needs. This richly illustrated introduction to the architect presents the defining works of Neutra's career. As the sharp structures meld with natural wonders, we celebrate a particularly holistic version of modernism that embraces the irregular lines and shifting colors of nature as much as the simple geometries of the International Style.
