STUDENT ART SHOW

Richard Neutra (1892-1970) helped develop the style of California Modern and was an immense

influence on American designers. Born in Vienna, Neutra went to school at the Technical

University there, studying under Adolf Loos. Loos taught him about the burgeoning American style and Neutra was inspired in particular by the

work of Frank Lloyd Wright. In 1919, after fighting in World War I, he and his new wife

moved to Germany and he worked with architect and designer Erich Mendelsohn. Neutra

immigrated to the US in 1923, landing first in Chicago and Wisconsin where he worked briefly with Frank Lloyd Wright, before settling down in Los Angeles in 1925. In 1929 designed the now classic Lovell Health House in Los Angeles. A cantilever design built into the side of a hill, the house was customized for the client Dr. Lovell who requested outdoor sleeping porches and a flat lower area for exercise equipment. In 1929, Neutra also designed R.J. Neutra Elementary

School. He is also known for his 1946 Kaufmann house as well as for his participation in the early Case Study House Programs. His 1952 Moore

House in Ojai, California achieved an innovative stylistic balance between domicile and

environment. Neutra designed a reflecting pool for the water storage, building the house so that

it seemed to float on the pond like an oasis. Richard Joseph died on April 16, 1970.

What was happenin’ in 1965? 1965, It doesn’t seem that long ago, does it? 50 years, that’s hard to believe. What isn’t hard to believe is

all the changes that have happened. For instance, the average price for a new house was $13,600, but the average income was only $6,450. Gas was only 31¢ per gallon, and rent was $118 a month! You could also buy 5 loaves of bread for about $1.

Ben Stiller, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ty Pennington, and J K Rowling were born this year. The Beatles released the movie and album Help! in 1965, and Jerry Garcia played with the Grateful Dead for

their first concert. The books Dune, Hotel, and The Man with the Golden Gun were released.
