The Art of Adolf Loos and the Modern Philosophy of Austerism

Abstract: A 7 page paper that analyzes four Adolf Loos cites compared to the Modern philosophy of austerism. Loos used contradictory styles, although he said ornamentation is a crime. Some of his work was ornate by today's terminology as he worked in marble and brass and glass, rather than iron and glass---his competitors judgment of what properly reflected the times. Loos chose to reflect more than just metropolitan ideas and applied those ideas to the Khuner Country home. He even made an artistic attempt in his submission for the Chicago Tribune Building. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
