About this Book

"In her text, author Kathryn Smith tells the story of the creation of the Schindler House and its critical reception throughout the twentieth century, and explains why it is one of the key works of modern architecture. Her essay is generously illustrated with archival photographs that document the construction of the house and portray those who lived in it, and with shots Schindler himself took during stays at Frank Lloyd Wright's Wisconsin residence, Taliesin, and on trips around the United States. Photographer Grant Mudford was specially commissioned to photograph the Schindler House for this publication; his sensitivity to Schindler's creative vision will enlighten readers each time they open this volume."--BOOK JACKET.
