TT: Make mine midcentury modern

I recently paid a visit to the Gropius House, not far from Walden Pond, which Walter Gropius designed for himself in 1938. Touring this remarkable house a few months after seeing Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House for the first time caused me to start thinking about why so many Americans dislike midcentury modern architecture–even though they respond enthusiastically to other forms of modern art. The end product of these speculations was my next “Sightings” column, which will appear in the “Pursuits” section of Saturday’s Wall Street Journal. Regardless of how you feel about midcentury modernism, I think you’ll find it interesting.
Pick up a copy of tomorrow’s paper and give it a read.
