Description

This lecture assesses the impact of Horta's wartime stay in the United States (1915-1919) and his lectures on North-American architecture in the 1920s on his own post-war work. The focus lies on the Palace of Fine Arts (1919-1928), Horta's first and most important post-war project that marks the definitive break with his Art Nouveau work.
