"Addison Cairns Mizner (1872-1933) was the most famous, the most talked-about architect of the 1920s. World traveler, bon vivant, artisan and artist, learned disciple of the past, he was the master of the Spanish mansion, the Spanish private club and hotel. His architectural career spanned the continent from California to New York but it was in sub-tropical Florida where he concentrated his efforts, creating a new school of design, organizing an infrastructure to supply and furnish his many masterpieces, inspiring others across the land to imitate his distinctive Spanish-Mediterranean style. This Mizner sketchbook covers the country as did Mizner, presenting 194 sketches of the acheivements as they appear today. From Montecito and Pebble Beach, California to Colorado and Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania; from New York to Sea Island, Georgia to Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, Palm Beach and Boca Raton in Florida, the mastery of Mizner is alive and well. His spirit not only survives: it thrives." // Architecture espagnole Influence, Architecture, Spanish Influence, Architekturzeichnung, Bildband, Mizner, Addison, Mizner, Addison, 1872-1933 // **Heavy, large item..
