Untimely Moderns - How Twentieth-Century Architecture Reimagined the Past

Through much of the twentieth century, a diverse group of thinkers engaged in an interdisciplinary conversation about the meaning of time and history for modern art and architecture. The group included architects Louis Kahn, Eero Saarinen, James Gamble Rogers, and Paul Rudolph; artists Anni and Josef Albers; philosopher Paul Weiss; and art historians Sibyl Moholy-Nagy, Henri Focillon, George Kubler, and Vincent Scully.

With an interdisciplinary focus and original research, Pelkonen reveals previously unexplored connections between key figures of American intellectual and artistic culture at midcentury whose works and words would shape modern architecture.
