1. Cityscapes in Modern Art
Long coveted by a who's who of Hollywood glitterati, Malibu
architect Richard Neutra's well-known residential models are as
popular today because they were revolutionary upon their
introduction over fifty percent a hundred years ago.
Neutra's elegantly minimal functional evolved over a long time, first
under the tutelage and mentorship of such residential architecture
luminaries as looshaus, Max Fabiani, and Karl Mayreder, and later
during his experiments in landscape architecture doing work for
Gustav Amman in Switzerland.
It had been after emigrating to america from his indigenous Vienna in
1923, but, that Neutra's particular accept a new, more pared back
approach to residential architecture found fertile soil in Southern
California. That is where his collaborations with close friend Rudolph
Schindler resulted in Neutra's defining modernist style like a
residential architect.
Neutra's residential architecture from this period both developed and described the Californian,
and especially Malibu artistic. To this day, this aesthetic represents the casual style associated
with the easy simplicity of the best Southern California life style.
Open spaces, clear lines, and modern and unadorned surfaces are important components in
Neutra's Malibu architecture, where vast swathes of windows bring in the light and are available
to the views that create an unbroken conversation between outdoors and indoors. As Neutra that
"biorealism," named it, evoked "the natural and inseparable relationship between man and
nature," and was a theme in the over 300 houses he designed in California between 1927 and
1969.
Several features of Neutra's job in California are the Kaufmann House, built in 1946 for
department store magnate Edgar Kaufmann as a cold temperatures holiday home in Palm
Springs. The house displays Neutra's commitment to biorealism, and is considered among his
International Style designs. Later in his job, the Samuel and Luella Maslon house, built-in
Rancho Mirage, California in 1963, had become referred to as one of many residential architect's
glorious achievements. Unfortunately, your house was destroyed a year after Mrs. Maslon's
death, after being sold to a new manager.
As a bauhaus architect, Neutra's work could be experienced simply by settling in for luncheon at
local worry Geoffrey's Malibu. The restaurant, since the Holiday House in 1948 originally
designed by Neutra, offers sweeping ocean views and was made popular by the JFK-Marilyn
Monroe canoodling that was rumored to possess occurred there.
