Between the 1930s and 1970s, American Modernism established
an exciting and provocative footing in New England. By the
1940s the work of American master Frank Lloyd Wright and
European newcomers such as Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius
influenced generations of young architects and inspired a
surprisingly large catalog of important buildings throughout the
region. Architects Marcel Breuer, Landis Gores, John Johansen,
Philip Johnson, Eliot Noyes and many others led the charge.
Dive deeply into this rich pool of talent whose buildings still
hold international influence, despite the constant threat of
redevelopment. These works tell the story of New England
Modernism, a story rich with beauty, imagination, creativity
and industriousness. Preview: mainspringnarrative.org/new-england-modernism
