Collects and analyzes letters between Louis Sullivan and R. M. Schindler and then Schindler and Richard Neutra. Esther McCoy (November 18, 1904 in Horatio, Arkansas December 30, 1989) was an American author and architectural historian who was instrumental in bringing the modern architecture of California to the attention of the world. During World War II, McCoy worked as a draftsman for R.M. Schindler. From 1950 until her death in 1989, McCoy was a frequent contributor to John Entenza's Los Angeles-based magazine Arts & Architecture, to Architectural Forum, Architectural Record, and Progressive Architecture, as well as to European magazines such as L'Architectura and Lotus. She also wrote pieces on architecture for the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. Her first major book, published in 1960, was Five California Architects, the first work to bring to the attention of a wide audience the works of pioneer California modernists Charles and Henry Greene, Irving Gill, Bernard Maybeck, and the Los Angeles-based Austrian emigre Rudolf Schindler. This book was followed by others devoted to the Case Study Houses sponsored by Arts & Architecture, Schindler's fellow emigre Richard Neutra, and architects Craig Ellwood, Calvin C. Straub, among others. "Vienna to Los Angeles: Two Journeys" is noted California architectural historian Esther McCoy's detailed study of the confluence between R.M Schindler and Richard Neutra. It explores the great modernist architects' Viennese roots, and publishes for the first time scores of photographs, drawings, and typographically transcribed correspondence between Schindler and Neutra, as well as Schindler and the renowned Louis Sullivan. Harwell Hamilton Harris, FAIA (July 2, 1903 November 18, 1990) was a modernist American architect, noted for his work in Southern California that assimilated European and American influences. He lived and worked in North Carolina from 1962 until his death in 1990. Richard Neutra (1892-1970) was an Austrian-American architect whose building career in Southern California established him as one of the preeminent Modern Architects of the 20th century. Hailing from Vienna, Rudolph Michael Schindler (1887 1953), like his colleague Richard Neutra, emigrated to the US and applied his International Style techniques to the movement that would come to be known as California Modernism. Influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and taking cues from spatial notions found in cubism, he developed a singular style characterized by geometrical shapes, bold lines, and association of materials such as wood and concrete, as seen in his own Hollywood home (built in 1921-22) and the house he designed for P.M. Lovell in Newport Beach (1923-24). Louis Henry Sullivan (September 3, 1856 April 14, 1924) was an American architect, and has been called a "father of skyscrapers" and "father of modernism." He was an influential architect of the Chicago School, a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright, and an inspiration to the Chicago group of architects who have come to be known as the Prairie School. Along with Wright and Henry Hobson Richardson, Sullivan is one of "the recognized trinity of American architecture." The phrase "form follows function" is attributed to him, although the idea was theorized by Viollet le Duc who considered that structure and function in architecture should be the sole determinants of form. In 1944, Sullivan was the second architect to posthumously receive the AIA Gold Medal. …
