Críticas:

"One of the striking virtues of Hines' study is that it gives due attention to Neutra's family, his upbringing, his education, and--something we still lack for many of his contemporaries--his experience in the First World War and its disastrous aftermath. . . . Whether Neutra's star is in the ascendant or in decline, Hines follows him step by step, patiently, shrewdly, judiciously, revealingly."--Reyner Banham, "Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians

Reseña del editor:

The story of Richard Neutra's life is, in many ways, the story of modern architecture. In his lifetime, Neutra experienced the buoyant struggles of the movement's early years, the heady excesses of its mid-century ascendancy, and the strains of its slow demise. Through his study of Richard Neutra, the most distinguished architect to have worked on the west coast from the 1920s to the 1960s, Thomas Hines explores the efforts of the modernists to find new forms and meaning for their work in the twentieth century.
