Including never-before-published material, Marcel Breuer is an account of his entire career, from his beginnings at the Bauhaus in pre-war Germany through his collaboration with Walter Gropius, and the establishment of his own practice in the USA. Despite the fifteen or more years that separated him from pioneers such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Breuer is often called the last of the first generation of Modernists.
While engaging with Breuer's principles and theories of Modernist design, the book also includes detailed descriptions of his houses and buildings in Europe and the United States, including the Whitney Museum in New York and the NESCO headquarters in Paris – as well as his iconic furniture such as the Wassily and Cesca chairs.
