 | | Likewise, the architect was no longer an inspired co-creator; instead, his work became a conduit for his own personal expression and of the "spirit of the age". | | | The Benedictines in the US were the equivalent of the Dominicans in France, being great patrons of Modernist art and architecture, as well as being liturgically progressive. | | | The chapters pertaining to the arts, though brief, are poetic, inspiring and alive to the artistic tradition of Catholicism. |

| | He worked in the offices of Le Corbusier and Antonin Raymond, became a close friend of Charlotte Perriand, employed Tange Kenzo at the beginning of his career, wrote influential texts promoting modernist architecture in the prewar period, and designed some of Japan's finest postwar buildings. | | | As the economy slowed in the 1920s, architecture shifted to conceptual work produced by some of Japan's brightest young designers but consummated only in annual exhibitions and published drawings. | | | Yet he remains little known, especially abroad, because of a dearth of published material on his work; Maekawa is even said to have actively prevented one monogra ph from being published. |

| | The 1932 'International Style' exhibition was conceived as a publicity campaign for modernist architecture, and its catalogue as a propaganda tool for disseminating the new style in the United States [9]. | | | The 1932 exhibition on Modernist Architecture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York was a highly influential event, using the museum's AUTHORITY to promote the so-called 'International Style'. | | | While architecture is often classed along with music, poetry, and the fine arts as a vehicle for individual artistic expression, it is actually far more than that. |
