This monograph highlights the life and career of Balthazar Korab, one of the most celebrated and prolific photographers of twentieth-century architecture. While Korab has been widely acknowledged for his photographic contributions to the collective visual culture representing modern architecture and design, there has never been a book dedicated solely to his extraordinary life and career. In addition to a comprehensive and critical analysis of Korab's professionally commissioned images of architecture, the book will also highlight a range of previously unpublished portfolios of vernacular architecture and landscapes from around the world that highlight the full range of his talents, and expand our awareness of his overall contributions to the disciplines of architecture and photography.
