foreword by Hattula Moholy-Nagy; edited by Marisa Bartolucci.
Father and Filip / Discovering Richard Filipowski / Origins: Ostrov to Toronto, by way of terra cotta / Filip, Moholy, and the legacy of the Chicago Bauhaus / The promise of a chess set / Filip at the Harvard Bauhaus / Rediscovering Richard Filipowski's painting and sculpture / MIT, Pietro Belluschi, and Temple B'rith Kodesh / My teacher Filip: an appreciation / Richard Filipowski: furniture designer / Richard Filipowski: jewelry maker / In my end is my beginning: Filip's final years / Hattula Moholy-Nagy -- Juliet Burrows & Kim Hostler -- Marisa Bartolucci -- Marisa Bartolucci & Lloyd C. Engelbrecht -- Larry List -- Jill Pearlman -- Janet Koplos -- Meredith L. Clausen -- Richard Dattner, FAIA -- Larry Weinberg -- Ursula Ilse-Neuman -- Marisa Bartolucci. Foreword: Introduction:
In this, the first monograph of Richard Filipowski, a major figure bridging the Bauhaus and American midcentury modernism finally gets his due. Richard Filipowski (1923-2008) was among the most gifted polymaths in the annals of American modernism. Whether as a painter, sculptor, or designer of furniture and jewelry, Filipowski developed a lush, abstract, and amazingly consistent visual language that marks him among the finest figures of midcentury art and design. With a foreword by László Moholy-Nagy's daughter Hattula, 'Richard Filipowski: Art and Design Beyond the Bauhaus' is the first monograph of this master, who over the course of his career created a unique body of work in diverse media that has largely, until recently, been held in private collections due to his relative lack of compulsion to seek media attention or worldly rewards. But now through the efforts of the Filipowski family and new attention by design scholars--several of whom contribute essays here on Filipowski's graphic and painted works, sculpture, furniture, and position in design history--the work is being revealed to a new generation of aficionados. 'Richard Filipowski' is a rich document of a life and career that is poised to reenter the canon of modernism.
