With more than 680 illustrations in color and black and white, the book is based on Felipe Ferré's remarkable photographic survey of Guimard's buildings, furniture, objects and interiors. Set in the context of George Vigne's history and biography, Ferré's photography triumphantly reasserts this visionary master's place in the history of architecture. From the Publisher Best known for designing the Paris Métro entrances, Hector Guimard's most important buildings include Castel Beranger, Hotel Guimard, and the Synagogue-10 rue de Pave. Like his contemporaries Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona and Joseph Hoffmann in Vienna, Guimard's work reflects the form, color, and light of turn-of-the-century Paris.
