Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. 4to. 310x240mm. Original red-lettered cloth. 32 pages of monochrome plates and plans. Covers a little yellowed. Presentation inscription from the architect Josef Gocár to the Dutch architect J.P.Oud. dated 28.v.1930. Josef Gocár (1880-1945) received his early instruction at the State Technical School in Prague. At the age of 23 he went to study under Jan Kotera at the School of Applied Arts in Prague (UP). For two years afterward, 19061908, Gocár was employed by Kotera's studio. At that time he decided to join the Mánes Union of Fine Arts, but left it in 1911 to join the Cubist Group of Visual Artists. Gocár joined Pavel Janák, Josef Chochol and Odoln Grege in founding the Prague Art Workshops in 1912. In 1924, following the death of Kotera, Gocár became a professor at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts.After his involvement in cubism, Gocár turned to "national" Czech Rondocubism style in the early 1920s. Later on he adopted the Functionalist approach to architecture. Among his greatest accomplishments is the Czechoslovak Pavilion for the 1925 Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes in Paris. He was awarded the Grand Prize for that design. In 1926 Gocár was awarded the Ordre de la Légion d'honneur.

Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. Joze Plecnik, Otakar Novotny, Josef Gocar, Pavel Janák, Jan Kotera, Josef Chochol, Bohumil Hubschmann, (illustratore). 1st Edition. Quartos, generally 30x23 cm., bound and in wrappers, various paginations. Editors include Zdenek Wirth, Otokar Novotný, Pavel Janák, Vilém Dvorák inter alia. All the editorial staff throughout its life were working architects. From its inception, Styl was a major architecture and design journal, engaging the pioneering architects of the Secessionist and Czech Cubist period through Rondo-cubism, experimental trials and into Functionalism. The first years of Styl were based on the Secessionist and early experiments of Cubist design. The first year is a sumptuous production, with metallic color lithographs and tissue guards on all full-page illustrations and photographs printed on heavy paper. As time went on it had to curtail these luxury elements due to financial considerations. Edited and later published by the Spolecnost architektu v Praze (Society of Architects in Prague), it maintained a superior standard of discourse and analysis of the work presented on its pages. The members of the Society were the classic designers from the Secessionist and Cubist eras (Gocár, Novotný, Janák, Kote;ra, Plecnik, Chochol, etc., many of them students of Otto Wagner), all individuals of unique talents whose work, supported by sumptuous commissions, bestowed a rich legacy which contributed to make Prague a capital city of architecture and design. Eventually with an ageing Functionalist editorial staff and chronically short of funds, Styl met the same fate as its fellow Czech design journals Stavitel, Stavba and Architekt SIA; by 1939 they had all amalgamated into the single publication of the day, Architektura. The present collection is all published. The Year I (1908/09) contains several inserts, including an important statement by Artel as a broadsheet, a highly collectible item in its own right. Both it and Year II (1910, extremely rare in itself) are boxed in elegant, Secessionist casings with ties as a deluxe edition holding the issues in original wrappers. They are both Ex-Libris Marie Fischerová-Kvechová (1892-1984), Czech impressionist and children's book illustrator. Several annuals are the publisher's cloth release, a few are in private bindings and the rest are in the original wrappers; Year XVIII is unbound, with front covers and inserts, slipcased. OCLC locates three institutional holdings in North America, all partial (Columbia, Getty, Art Inst Chicago); the Beinecke at Yale holds a complete set. The full set of all published is rarely encountered. All issues in very good to fine condition. More information and photos available on request.
