Book Description
"The first definitive biography of the now-famous architect, Hugh Morrison's Louis Sullivan: Prophet of Modern Architecture is still the best introduction to his work. This reissue provides Morrison's original text and illustrations in a larger, more modern format. It also offers an assessment of Morrison's ground-breaking research, in Timothy J. Samuelson's Introduction, and, most important, an authoritative revision of the chronological List of Buildings, including corrections of the data in light of six decades of research. Working from Morrison's original notes, Samuelson has restored a number of photographic images intended for the original edition and has replaced some photographs with alternate images that more accurately represent the buildings. He has also added a selected bibliography of important works about Sullivan"--Page 4 of cover

Book Description
A visual compendium revealing the philosophy and life of America's renowned architect The story of Louis H. Sullivan is considered one of the great American tragedies. While Sullivan reshaped architectural thought and practice and contributed significantly to the foundations of modern architecture, he suffered a sad and lonely death. Many have since missed his aim: that of bringing buildings to life. What mattered most to Sullivan were not the buildings but the philosophy behind their creation. Once, he unconcernedly stated that if he lived long enough, he would get to see all of his works destroyed. He added: "Only the idea is the important thing." In Louis Sullivan's Idea, Chicago architectural historian Tim Samuelson and artist/writer Chris Ware present Sullivan's commitment to his discipline of thought as the guiding force behind his work, and this collection of photographs, original documentation, and drawings all date from the period of Sullivan's life, 1856-1924, that many rarely or have never seen before. The book includes a full-size foldout facsimile reproduction of Louis Sullivan's last architectural commission and the only surviving working drawing done in his own hand.
