Mattern’s work embodies several themes of the German landscape discourse as well as the central ambivalence of his generation: a life spanning the artistic avant-garde of the 1920s and an apparently apolitical career under the Nazi regime and in the postwar period. Based on comprehensive archival research, Hopstock’s richly illustrated study uncovers the professional networks, debates, and rivalries that shaped the profession of landscape architecture in Germany during its formative decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst English biography of landscape architect Hermann Mattern A new reading of German garden culture since 1900 Formerly unpublished archival material and illustrations from rare published sources\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57483559600503,"sku":"9783986120030","price":45.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9783986120030.jpg?v=1790094774","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.live\/products\/9783986120030","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
