Description

Previous research on Joseph Urban (1872-1933) has focused on his architectural career; yet after moving from Vienna to the US in 1912, he devoted much of his energies to the stage, especially productions for the Metropolitan Opera and the Ziegfeld Follies. A seminal figure in the history of American theatre, he introduced to the US the sophistication of European developments in stage design, experiments with lighting, and painterly effects which paralleled developments in modernist literature, painting, and dance. This volume documents more than 100 finely rendered watercolors, photographs, and three-dimensional stage models. Arnold Aronson contributes a major essay. In other essays, Derek E. Ostergard contextualizes Urban's architecture, and Matthew Wilson Smith examines Urban's work in film
