"Born in Romania and educated in Vienna, Frederick Kiesler was part Renaissance man, part space-age prophet. Believing in an integrated approach to art, he conceived and mastered a 'medium' that included architecture, painting, sculpture, collage and stage, furniture, and graphic design, as well as poetry and dance." [From the dust wrapper copy]. Kiesler lived in America from 1926 until his death in 1965. Very good .
