Modern, moderne, and modernistic
Le Corbusier, Thomas Wallis and the problem of art deco
pp. 128-146
Abstract
Whether or not they felt it was a good thing, by the 1930s most English architectural critics agreed that Le Corbusier was probably the best-known figure in the modern architectural movement. Some had visited his Pavillon de l"Esprit Nouveau at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris and many had read Frederick Etchell's English translations of his Towards a New Architecture (1927) and The City of Tomorrow (1929).2
