His extraordinary Art Deco furniture is avidly collected and his visionary glass house, the Maison de Verre, is celebrated, but the breadth of his design genius has been little explored. Chareau linked architecture, fine arts, and style; designed furniture for avant-garde films and chic homes; collected artists such as Picasso and Mondrian; and was a radical innovator in the use of materials. This revealing look at the visionary French designer highlights his virtuosity and versatile creativity. Essays by leading scholars embrace the full scope of his invention, offering detailed analyses of individual projects, the interdisciplinary nature of his work, his Jewish background, his place in the avant-garde of Paris between the wars, and his more recent reception. Extensive illustrations present a rich sampling of Chareau's furniture, architecture, interiors, fabrics, and wallpapers, as well as his own important art collection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published in association with the Jewish Museum, New York\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEsther da Costa Meyer\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emerita of modern architecture at Princeton University. \u003cb\u003eBernard Bauchet\u003c\/b\u003e is an architect and scholar based in Paris. \u003cb\u003eOlivier Cinqualbre\u003c\/b\u003e is chief curator of architecture at the Centre Pompidou, Paris. \u003cb\u003eJean-Louis Cohen\u003c\/b\u003e was Sheldon H.
