SAH/SCC TOURS LA'S MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE: MAY AND JUNE
To enhance your experience of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's fx;7es and Emigres: The Flight of European Artists From Hitler exhibition, SAH/SCC is organizing tours to explore the work of architects such as Richard Neutra, R.M. Schindler, J.R. Davidson, Kem Weber and others. Los Angeles in the '30s and '40s was a haven for architects who fled their native Europe or could no longer return to their homeland as they had intended. Here they found both the freedom and the means to explore their modernist ideas, and their legacy is a geographic concentration of some of the greatest architecture of the period. Curated by Stephanie Barren, the LACMA exhibition features the work of artists, photographers and architects who escaped Western Europe and came to America to work between 1933 and 1945. The exhibition runs from February 23rd through May 11th. Twenty-three European artists will be represented by 130 works in a variety of media, including architectural reconstructions and models, in the exhibition designed by Frank O. Gehry. Featured architects include Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe. Reconstructions include a scale-recreation of Peggy Guggenheim's Art of This Century gallery, and a walk-in model of Piet Mondrian's New York studio. SAH/SCC is organizing two very special tours that reveal the work of European emigres within Los Angeles. Preparations are currently in progress, so exact dates have yet to be set. Be sure to reserve a space, though, by calling 800.9SAHSCC, or sending in the reservation form on page 8. As well, if you are interested in helping organize or volunteer on the tours, please contact SAH/SCC. Exiles and Emigres in Los Angeles Modernist Architecture will feature seldom seen residences by such noted architects and designers, such as Schindler, Davidson, Weber, Jock Detlof Peters, Paul Laszio, and others. Shuttle vans will transport tour participants to each location, where a number of informed docents will explore the emigrant experience, the architect's role in the development of Los Angeles Modernism, each building's architectural merit, and the social agenda behind the structures. Richard and Dione Neutra. (Photo Aroo Fischer) Some local works by the architects that may be featured are Schmdier's Lovell Beach House and King's Road Studio; Davidson's Thomas Mann Residence and Case Study House; Peters' Park FOLLOWING HIS FOOTPRINT Moderne Model Homes (with Schindler); and Laszlo's Greer House and Laszio Residence. The tour is bemg organized by SAH/SCC Development Coordinator Sian Winship. On Decembers, 1919, an anguished 27-year- Richard Neutra: Compressing the Footprint will be a walking tour and progressive pot-luck old Richard Neutra wrote in his diary: "I shall dinner in the Neutra "Colony" area in Silverlake, with short lectures at each stop. Neutra's never live with fewer worries, never have time residential work has much to teach us about condensing the use of land in an urban setting; how to develop ideas.

"I envision a few spirit." Five years later, he and his wife Dione intense and mformative hours, where we linger and ponder in just a few houses, to think about had arrived on Rudolph and Pauline Schindler's ideas. We can learn about Neutra's goals, how he achieved them, and their implications—if doorstep on King's Road in Los Angeles. any—for how we approach land use today." The Modernist architect reached his goal, at Reserve a spot by calling 800.9SAHSCC or sending in the form on page 8. Look for the next least in some ways. Born in imperial Vienna on issue of SAH/SCC News for full details. Apnl 8, 1892, Neutra died in the same month in 1970, his wife Dione at this side. He was a true Angeleno with a thick Austrian accent. He was a European Modernist who never left Los Angeles in spirit. Richard Neutra's ashes lie in a quiet place under a eucalyptus tree he planed when he built his VDL Research House. He was rarely at peace, though his life-long and passionate belief in "bio-realism" was meant to bring serenity to others—or at least to imbue their surroundings. He sought to acknowledge, he said, the intense qualities of nature in suburban and urban design, and balance the psychological and physiological aspects of the individual into a warp and woof of the surrounding environment. In his book. Nature Near, edited by Dione, he says: "Our environment is often chaotic, irritating, inhibitive and disorienting. It is not generally designed at all, but amounts to a cacophonous, visually discordant accretion of accidental events, sometimes euphemized as 'urban development' and 'economic progress'." What is interesting is that Neutra is criticized for repeating his forms and aesthetics, diminishing the uniqueness of the site. During "Richard Neutra: Compressing the Footprint" we will talk about his work and its place in Los Angeles' cultural and architectural history.

CAMERON, LIFE MEMBER
In conjunction with the quarterly meeting of the California State Historical Resources Commission (see page 1), the Society of Architectural Historians/Southern California Chapter will bestow its Lifetime Achievement Award to David G. Cameron, who chaired the Commission in 1996 and 1997, and served as its historian since 1994. The dinner will include a silent auction, including books by David's mother, the late Eleanor Cameron, who was an internationally- known writer and critic of children's literature.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, David graduated from UCLA Law School in 1969 and worked as a staff attorney with the Los Angeles Regional Office of the Federal Trade Commission, before starting his own practice as an attorney at law in 1979. From then on, he was very active in the leadership of many historical and preservation organizations, including the Historical Society of his adopted home city of Santa Monica, as well as the Los Angeles Conservancy and the California Preservation Foundation, to name a few. Ultimately, his interest in the field blossomed into a business researching and documenting the n^uut/cA tc Of his long association with the Society of Architectural Historians, David comments, "In addition to the SAH/SCC's outstanding tours, COME TO CASA CALIFORNIA lertures and book signings, the group's Annual Meetings offer a great opportunity for us to get SAH/SCC PROGRAMS WITH ELIZABETH MCMILLIAN together with our like-minded friends."
