Krátky popis
Breuer's Bohemia explores a vibrant period of midcentury modern
design and culture as seen through the influential New England
houses designed by Marcel Breuer for his circle of clients and
friends. The iconic twentieth-century architect Marcel Breuer was a
prolific designer of residential architecture, which is often
overshadowed by his early renown as a Bauhaus furniture maker and
his large-scale projects. Breuer's Bohemia surveys the houses he
designed in Connecticut and Massachusetts from the 1950s through
the '70s, many of which were commissioned by a few culturally
progressive clients--chiefly Rufus and Leslie Stillman and Andrew
and Jamie Gagarin--who coalesced around him into a dynamic social
circle. Included in this scene were prominent cultural figures such
as Alexander Calder, Arthur Miller, Francine du Plessix Gray,
Philip Roth, and William Styron, and more, marking a unique
intersection of postwar architecture, art, and letters. The
publication of Breuer's Bohemia coincides with the feature-length
documentary of the same name by author and filmmaker James Crump,
exploring Breuer's explosive residential practice on the East
Coast. Through original research and interviews, the voices of
principal characters from Breuer's circle and notable figures from
the field of architecture help tell the story of Breuer's
collaborations with his friends and clients, breathing new life
into the history of the rich cultural atmosphere of which they all
played a vital part. Heavily illustrated with vintage and
contemporary photographs as well as rarely seen archival materials,
Breuer's Bohemia is a unique glimpse of a twentieth-century milieu
that produced an aesthetic, intellectual, and sometimes sybaritic
community during a fertile period of American design and culture.
