Marcel Breuer: Sun and Shadow: The Philosophy of an Architect by Peter Blake

Published 1956. ~8 1/2" x 11", ~200 pages. Hard Cover.

This monograph explores the work and philosophy of Marcel Breuer, one of the most influential figures of twentieth-century modernism. Covering both his architectural projects and furniture designs -including the iconic Wassily Chair - the book offers insight into Breuer’s thinking beyond the established narratives of modern architecture. Edited by Peter Blake and featuring a distinctive horizontal layout by legendary art director Alexey Brodovitch, it is as notable for its design as it is for its content.
