Brian Brace Taylor
Brian Brace Taylor: PIERRE CHAREAU: DESIGNER AND ARCHITECT. Koln: Taschen, 1992. First edition. Text in French, English, and German. A near-fine softcover book with printed French-folded stiff wrappers: minor shelf wear including two small nicks on the coveršs bottom left- and right-hand corner. Interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print. 8.75 x 11.75 softcover book with 158 pages and 93 color illustrations and 124 b/w illustrations. A remarkable book with a section on "Maison de Verre", which Pierre Chareau built in the center of Paris. From GA 46: "The remarkable Maison de Verre was inserted into an existing building and is one of the unique buildings of the twentieth century... The dissolving of views through semi-transparent materials, the juxtaposing of metal and glass, 'free' space and solid add a dynamic dimension to this house which almost takes it into the realms of Surrealism."
