captured the midcentury modernism of the Mad Men era better than Balthazar
Korab. As one of the period's most prolific and celebrated architecture
photographers, Korab captured images as graceful and elegant as his subjects.
His iconic photographs for master architects immortalized their finest works,
while leaving his own indelible impact on twentieth century visual culture. In
this riveting illustrated biography, the first dedicated solely to his life and
career, author John Comazzi traces Korab's circuitous path to a career in
photography. He paints a vivid picture of a young man forced to flee his native
Hungary, who goes on to study architecture at the famed École des Beaux-Arts in
Paris before emigrating to the United States and launching his career as Eero
Saarinen's on-staff photographer. The book includes a portfolio of more than
one hundred images from Korab's professionally commissioned architecture
photography as well as close examinations of Saarinen's TWA Terminal and the
Miller House in Columbus, Indiana. The photos documenting finished buildings
and architects at work include iconic images of Mies van der Rohe's S. R. Crown
Hall, Le Corbusier's Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard
University, Louis Kahn's Kimbell Art Museum and Salk Institute, Minoru
Yamasaki's World Trade Center, Richard Meier's Douglas House, Frank Lloyd
Wright's Fallingwater, and Jørn Utzon's Sydney Opera House, among many others.
