Download and read online ebook One California Architect, Irving J. Gill write by James B Guthrie. This book was released on 2022-07-05. One California Architect, Irving J. Gill available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. One California Architect, Irving J. Gill, is an update and republication of Esther McCoy's groundbreaking chapter on Gill in her seminal 1960 work Five California Architects. It gives a comprehensive look at Gill's life from his youth in Syracuse, New York, to his apprenticeship in Chicago with Adler & Sullivan, his move to San Diego in 1893, and the evolution of his work into what we now call Modern Architecture. McCoy's book was the first to document the progressive architectural movement that emerged in California at the turn of the last century. Her writing on Irving J. Gill was especially important as it opened the world's eyes to the first Modern Architecture, as created by Gill in San Diego and Los Angeles. Her work on Gill is being republished in this enhanced edition by the Irving J. Gill Foundation in this, the 150th year since Gill's birth. This new edition also celebrates the 60th anniversary of Five California Architects and includes enhanced images and updated information not available to McCoy. All profits go to the Irving J. Gill Foundation.

This fall, East of Borneo will publish the first anthology of Esther McCoy’s landmark writing about Southern California. Esther McCoy (1904-1989) was a keen literary stylist and an ingenious architectural historian who chronicled mid-century modernist design as it was being created. Her 1960 book Five California Architects has long been acknowledged as an indispensable classic. As Reyner Banham observed: “No one can write about architecture in California without acknowledging her as the mother of us all." Piecing Together Los Angeles: An Esther McCoy Reader (Fall 2011), edited and with an introduction by Susan Morgan, presents an unprecedented selection of McCoy’s work—innovative articles, out-of-print essays, unpublished lectures, and personal memoir—and roundly recognizes this brilliant American original, the pre-eminent voice of West Coast modernism.
