Aino and Alvar Aalto : A Shared Journey : Interpretations of an Everyday Modernism
137: Alvar Aalto Foundation : Alvar Aalto Museum, 2007. 1st Edition. Text in English. 224 pp. Few scratches on the covers.
This book chronicles the artistic exploration and collaboration by renowned Finnish architect Alvar Aalto and his first wife, architect Aino Aalto. Originally a series of articles published in a Finnish academic journal, the crux of this slim soft-cover book by Finnish art history Professor Renja Suominen-Kokkonen looks at the social and creative metamorphosis the Aaltos experienced when, as a young married couple, they relocated to the southern Finnish city of
Turku in 1927. Not only does the author present a cogent treatise on early 20th century modernism, but hundreds of photos and illustrations also paint a rare and intimate portrait of the couple and their work. Very good. Item #6723
