Joze Plecnik Complete Works Peter Krecic Slovenian Artist Architect Modernism

Description: For sale is the book Plecnik: The Complete Works by Peter Krecic published by the Whitney Library of Design in 1993, the First Edition. Jože Plečnik (23 January 1872 – 7 January 1957) was a Slovenian architect who had a major impact on the modern architecture of Vienna, Prague and of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, most notably by designing the iconic Triple Bridge and the Slovenian National and University Library building, as well as the embankments along the Ljubljanica River, the Ljubljana Central Market buildings, the Ljubljana cemetery, parks, plazas. His architectural imprint on Ljubljana has been compared to the impact Antoni Gaudi had on Barcelona. His style is associated with the Vienna Secession style of architecture (a type of Art Nouveau), but he also has influences from the baroque tradition in Slovenia, as well as Byzantine and early eighteenth-century Viennese architecture. Plečnik was one of the few notable modernists who did not entirely reject historic forms and ideas, instead paying what he believed to be a debt to history in his designs.CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES: Customers outside the United States may purchase this item with eBay's International Shipping Program.
