Illustrated front cover. Illustrations. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Front cover has slight weakness and has been restrengthened with glue. Foreword by Harwell Hamilton Harris. Collects and analyzes letters between Louis Sullivan and R. M. Schindler and then Schindler and Richard Neutra. Esther McCoy November 18 1904 in Horatio Arkansas – December 30 1989 was an American author and architectural historian who was instrumental in bringing the modern architecture of California to the attention of the world. During World War II McCoy worked as a draftsman for R.M. Schindler. From 1950 until her death in 1989 McCoy was a frequent contributor to John Entenza's Los Angeles-based magazine Arts & Architecture to Architectural Forum Architectural Record and Progressive Architecture as well as to European magazines such as L'Architectura and Lotus. She also wrote pieces on architecture for the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. Her first major book published in 1960 was Five California Architects the first work to bring to the attention of a wide audience the works of pioneer California modernists Charles and Henry Greene Irving Gill Bernard Maybeck and the Los Angeles-based Austrian emigre Rudolf Schindler. This book was followed by others devoted to the Case Study Houses sponsored by Arts & Architecture Schindler's fellow emigre Richard Neutra and architects Craig Ellwood Calvin C. Straub among others. "Vienna to Los Angeles: Two Journeys" is noted California architectural historian Esther McCoy's detailed study of the confluence between R.M Schindler and Richard Neutra. It explores the great modernist architects' Viennese roots and publishes for the first time scores of photographs drawings and typographically transcribed correspondence between Schindler and Neutra as well as Schindler and the renowned Louis Sullivan. Harwell Hamilton Harris FAIA July 2 1903 – November 18 1990 was a modernist American architect noted for his work in Southern California that assimilated European and American influences. He lived and worked in North Carolina from 1962 until his death in 1990. Richard Neutra 1892-1970 was an Austrian-American architect whose building career in Southern California established him as one of the preeminent Modern Architects of the 20th century. Hailing from Vienna Rudolph Michael Schindler 1887 – 1953 like his colleague Richard Neutra emigrated to the US and applied his International Style techniques to the movement that would come to be known as California Modernism. Influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and taking cues from spatial notions found in cubism he developed a singular style characterized by geometrical shapes bold lines and association of materials such as wood and concrete as seen in his own Hollywood home built in 1921-22 and the house he designed for P.M. Lovell in Newport Beach 1923-24. Louis Henry Sullivan September 3 1856 – April 14 1924 was an American architect and has been called a "father of skyscrapers" and "father of modernism." He was an influential architect of the Chicago School a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright and an inspiration to the Chicago group of architects who have come to be known as the Prairie School. Along with Wright and Henry Hobson Richardson Sullivan is one of "the recognized trinity of American architecture." The phrase "form follows function" is attributed to him although the idea was theorized by Viollet le Duc who considered that structure and function in architecture should be the sole determinants of form. In 1944 Sullivan was the second architect to posthumously receive the AIA Gold Medal. Arts + Architecture Press paperback

1954réf. 3618London: W. H. Allen 1954. FIRST UK EDITION INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR. 8vo. pp. 541. Original red cloth spine lettered in gilt. White marks to front board. Edges gently tobacco-toned faint liquid stain to top and leading edges plus top corner of front pastedown. Inscribed by Wilson in blue biro to ffep: "To Esther Arthur with the love & admiration of Edmund W. April 24 1954 Paris." Else clean and tight. Very good Very good An affectionately inscribed first UK edition copy of Edmund Wilson's Five Plays presented in Paris in the year of publication to his close friend and key but now little known queer figure of the New York intelligentsia: "To Esther Arthur with the love & admiration of Edmund W."; a copy that speaks to an important mid-century American literary friendship with Wilson "one of the few people who could match her Arthur in both learned wit and alcohol intake" indeed according to the scintillating Terry Castle "one of the odd things about Murphy and Wilson . is how much they looked like each other: the same penetrating separated-at-birth expression tight small mouths and grapey dark eyes" Castle 2012. Alongside Dorothy Parker Edmund Wilson and Esther Arthur formerly Murphy and Strachey 1897-1962 were fixtures of 1950s New York intelligentsia: "A profusely erudite New York intellectual she Arthur talked and talked dazzling her listeners with her vast memory her extravagant verbal style and her inventive renderings of the past" yet her brilliance rather like Dorothy Wilde's was of the moment and mostly failed to materialise in written form: her "particular tragedy was to have an alcohol-saturated writer's block of mammoth proportions and lifelong duration" Castle 2012. Like Wilde Esther Murphy as she was then spent much of the interwar period in France living the high life on the French Riviera alongside her brother and sister-in-law the models and dedicatees of Tender is the Night and the Fitzgeralds as well as frequenting the salons of Natalie Clifford Barney and Gertrude Stein: she featured as Bounding Bess in Djuna Barnes' acerbic satire of Sapphic Parisian circles Ladies Almanack 1928. Arthur followed her first marriage to the British Labour politician John Strachey with a second to Chester Arthur III the "notoriously gay" grandson of the 21st American president who had appeared as Thorne in POOL's Borderline in 1930 and later became an astrologist and gay rights activist with connections to the Beat generation. Wilson observed of the match: "for Esther to have married the grandson of Arthur means almost what it would have meant for Proust to have made an alliance with the Guermantes".
