Hardcover. Condizione: New. - First-ever monograph on architect and designer Jock Peters, a German-born modernist who immigrated to Los Angeles in 1922, where he gained national recognition for his elegant and lavish interiors at the iconic Bullock's Wilshire department store- This visually rich study includes never before publi…shed material from the architect's personal archive, still in family hands- A detailed story of an architect's fascinating career set within the context of architectural developments in Hamburg, Germany, in the 1910s and the early history of Los Angeles modernism in the 1920s and early 1930s- The 262 historic photographs, etchings, watercolors, drawings (including floor plans), many in color, provide design inspiration for houses, retail spaces, storefronts, furniture, packaging, textiles, and set designs- Christopher Long - author of ground-breaking studies on Kem Weber, Adolf Loos, and Paul Frankl - writes another important history to broaden our understanding of modern architecture and designScholar and historian Christopher Long turns his attention to the little-known German-born architect and designer Jock Peters (1889-1934). Long's engaging study introduces us to the modernist's architectural work in Hamburg, Germany before World War I, and also to Peters' work created after he immigrated to America in 1922. Most notable are his interiors for the once-famous Hollander department store in New York City and for Bullock's Wilshire in Los Angeles (the building was recently restored by Southwestern Law School). Both projects brought him international recognition. Peters also designed a dynamic sales office building for the short-lived Maddox Airlines, as well as stores and houses for the developer William Lingenbrink, a major supporter of the burgeoning modernism in Southern California. Aside from his architectural work, Peters designed film sets for Famous Lasky-Players (later Paramount Pictures), working in the famed art department of Hans Dreier. Despite his early death, Peters managed to leave his mark on the modernist landscape in Southern California at a time when the new style was just emerging. BEAUTIFUL COPY!!.

Hardback. Condizione: New. "An important document that should be included in any library of design and architecture." - Daniella Ohad "A masterful blend of émigré biography and architecture and design history, proving that the twentieth century fostered more than one modernism."- Donald AlbrechtChristopher Long, author of semina…l monographs on Adolf Loos, Kem Weber, and Paul T. Frankel, turns his attention to the little-known architect and designer Jock Peters, a largely forgotten figure of early Los Angeles modernism.This visually rich study is also an intimate portrait of an architect who, like too many, struggled to establish a career during the early decades of the 20th century, years ravished by World War I and the Great Depression. Among Peters's early works in Germany are designs for the Levantehaus and Karstadt department stores, an innovative design dated 1916 for a magnificent glass pavilion, and his work for Peter Behrens after the war, but the architect's most accomplished and compelling work came after 1922 when he settled in Southern California. Most notable are the strikingly lavish and elegant commercial interiors Peters designed for the iconic Bullock's Wilshire store in Los Angeles and the tragically forgotten Hollander department store in New York City; both projects brought him international recognition.The breathtaking scope of his short-lived career includes modern film sets for Famous Players-Lasky, later Paramount Pictures, while working under the legendary art director Hans Dreier; a dynamic sales office for the trendsetting Maddux Air Lines, which later became TWA; and modern residences, including the still extant homes he built for cinematographer Alfred Gilks, who would later win an Academy Award for An American in Paris, and art gallerist and developer William Lingenbrink for whom Peters also designed stores and a vibrantly colourful sidewalk for the Silver Strand beach development north of Los Angeles. Lingenbrink, a major supporter of the burgeoning modernism, also commissioned Jock Peters, alongside Schindler, to design houses for Park Moderne, the legendary avant-garde modernist retreat for artists in Calabasas. Peters also designed the retreat's Streamline Moderne pump house, clubhouse, and zigzag fountain, which still stands.This important study on early modernism includes never before published material from the architect's personal archive, still in family hands. These remarkable and inspiring images-more than 250 historic photographs, etchings, watercolours, and drawings-alongside Long's insightful narrative, demonstrate how Peters, despite his early death, managed to leave his mark on the modernist landscape in Southern California at a time when the new style was just emerging.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Jock Peters (1889-1934) is mostly remembered for his interior designs for Bullock's Wilshire department store in Los Angeles which brought a European aesthetic to California, but came to epitomize American 'moderne' style. This richly illustrated study examines the wider career of Peters; his early tr…aining and work in Germany before immigrating to America in 1922, and the full range of his architecture and design, including film sets, furniture and the famous shop interiors.

gebunden. Condizione: Neu. Neu -Christopher Long, Autor bahnbrechender Monografien über Adolf Loos, Kem Weber und Paul T. Frankel, wendet seine Aufmerksamkeit dem wenig bekannten Architekten und Designer Jock Peters zu, einer weitgehend vergessenen Figur des frühen Modernismus in Los Angeles. Diese visuell reichhaltige Studie is…t auch ein intimes Porträt eines Architekten, der wie viele andere in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts, die durch den Ersten Weltkrieg und die Weltwirtschaftskrise geprägt waren, um seine Karriere kämpfte. Zu Peters' frühen Arbeiten in Deutschland gehören Entwürfe für das Levantehaus und die Karstadt-Kaufhäuser, ein innovativer Entwurf von 1916 für einen prächtigen Glaspavillon und seine Arbeit für Peter Behrens nach dem Krieg. Doch das überzeugendste Werk des Architekten entstand nach 1922, als er sich in Südkalifornien niederließ. Am bemerkenswertesten sind die auffallend großzügigen und eleganten Inneneinrichtungen für das ikonische Bullock's Wilshire-Geschäft in Los Angeles und das tragischerweise vergessene Hollander-Kaufhaus in New York City: Beide Projekte brachten ihm internationale Anerkennung. Diese wichtige Studie über die frühe Moderne enthält bisher unveröffentlichtes Material aus dem persönlichen Archiv des Architekten, das sich noch in Familienbesitz befindet. Diese beeindruckenden und inspirierenden Bilder - mehr als 250 historische Fotografien, Radierungen, Aquarelle und Zeichnungen - zeigen zusammen mit Longs aufschlussreicher Erzählung, wie es Peters trotz seines frühen Todes gelang, der modernistischen Landschaft in Südkalifornien seinen Stempel aufzudrücken. (Text engl.) 304 pp. Englisch.
