Omschrijving
An intimate and inventively presented biography of Eileen Gray, an industrial designer who made revolutionary work with lacquer and whose architectural opus, E1027, has long been incorrectly attributed to Le Corbusier.
Eileen Gray's A House Under the Sun is not only a memoir of the artist herself but an exploration of her work and the development of her practise.
Aided by Zosia Dzierzawska's muted illustrative palette, there's a time-capsule pleasure in this retelling, thanks to the heartening effect of seeing Gray's passions unfurl and the quiet-but-pointed meditation on past erasures of women. It's a timely do-over: for Gray, but also for architectural history.
Almost 100 years on, Eileen Gray's structure has become a monument for modern design. However, her story was eclipsed by the men with whom she collaborated. Here, the focus is back on Gray & her design.
Charlotte Malterre-Barthes is a French architect and urban designer who graduated from ENSA-Marseille and TU Vienna. She is currently Director of Studies of the MAS in Urban Design at the ETH Zurich, where she now lives. Zosia Dzierzawska is a Polish illustrator and comic author. Architecture and living/urban space have always been important in her work, as in her short story Waiting Rooms. She also authored the full-length autobiographical novel, A Testa in Giù. She lives in Zurich.
