223 P., Hardcover ISBN: 9789055445714. text french ISBN 9789055445714. VICTOR HORTA (1861-1947)fut un des pionniers du renouvellement qui vit le jour vers 1900 en reaction contre l'architecture classique et monumentale des siecles precedents. Faisant usage des materiaux contemporains, tels le verre et le metal, introduisant l'air et la lumiere dans les batiments et privilegiant l'asymetrie, Horta invente un langage formel original. Il cree des maisons confortables et belles a l'eclairage sophistique. Ce livre fait decouvrir le parcours de Horta, des interventions prudentes du debut au style contenu et geometrique des dernieres realisations, en passant par l'exuberance lineaire a laquelle on l'associe generalement. C'est dans son pavillon pour Les Passions humaines de Jef Lambeaux (1889-1906, parc du Cinquantenaire, Bruxelles) que le jeune architecte se distancie pour la premiere fois, tres modestement, des formes classiques. Les themes sur lesquels Horta fonde ses creations trouvent leur plus belle expression dans la maison Tassel (1893), qui marque l'avenement de l'Art nouveau. Ce nouvel ouvrage sur Horta, illustre des dernieres photos de Christine Bastin 6 Jacques Evrard, permet de suivre pas a pas l'evolution d'un architecte qui avait a la fois le sens de la forme, de l'espace et de la couleur. Un beau livre pour un grand architecte. 777 g. Seller Inventory # 100014
