Tillsynes obläddrat exemplar///Förlagets beskrivning: ///Förlagets beskrivning: First published over sixty years ago, Hugh Morrison's Loins Sullivan: Prophet of Modem Architecture was the first definitive biography of the now-famous architect and is still the bestintroduction to his work.
This reissue provides Morrisons classic text, completely redesigned and reset in a larger, more modern format. It also offers an assessment of Hugh Morrison's ground-breaking research, in Timothy J. Samuelson? Introduction, and, most important, an authoritative revision of the chronological List of Buildings, including corrections of the data in light of six decades of research. The most complete and up-to-date summary of Louis Sullivan's work, both built and unbuilt, the Building List contains information on buildings discovered since the original publication, incorporates new information on specific buildings, and notes the status of buildings
demolished since first publication. Working from Hugh Morrison's original notes, Timothy Samuelson has restored a number of photographic images intended for the original edition but eliminated due to space and budget constraints. He has replaced some photographs with alternate images that more clearly or accurately represent the buildings, and has revised and corrected captions to reflect current scholarship. He has also added a selected bibliography of important works about Sullivan published in the intervening years. Architects, art and architectural historians, and students—and everyone interested in Louis Sullivan and the rise of modern architecture—should own a copy of this classic book.
