Summary: Feels like you're actually there
Comment: I was looking for a book on Neutra and came across this beautiful book instead. The photographs, taken by Grant Mudford, give a vivid sense of space and relationship. He does an excellent job of capturing the light and emotion of the home. It feels much like a Japanese teahouse. Sparse and natural, bringing the outdoors in. Also included, a wonderful selection of archival photographs providing history and a glimpse of Schindlers personal life. Kathryn Smith, who actually lived at the house for five years, understands the spirit of the place. Her text covers Schindler's history, the house's structural engineering, and the philosophy upon which the cooperative dwelling is based. A truly inspiring home. The next time I am in Los Angeles, I will certainly make time to visit the Schindler House.

Summary: Author's response to Jason
Comment: ...My book was the result of over ten years of research in the Schindler archives, revealing new information and unpublished photos taken by Schindler himself. It is a monograph on one of the most important buildings in the history of twentieth century modernism. Half of the book consists of stunning color photos by Grant Mudford which were taken especially for this book. Grant has visited the Schindler House numerous times over the last ten years (as he lives in LA) and he has a great sensitivity and insight into its spatial qualities and how to capture this elusive character in light and shadow. The price of the book (even less on Amazon.com) is aimed at a general audience, especially students. It is an affordable introduction with sumptious photos and a text that covers history and analysis. The printing is excellent on very good quality stock; Abrams (the top art publisher in the US) did a superb job. I hope you make this a part of your library. Kathryn Smith.

Comment: Eh. Smith knows how to talk. But the subject at hand isn't the greatest for an entire book.
