Throughout much of the 20th century, José Luis Sert was a key player among the architectural avant-garde and an important advocate of the modernist movement, working closely with Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and the Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM). Among his best-known works are several international-style apartment buildings and the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona, the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, and the American Embassy in Baghdad, as well as city plans for Medellin, Bogota, Lima, and Havana, among others. This monograph is heavily illustrated with archival photos, plans, and drawings of Sert's buildings, city plans, and publications, and also offers an overview of the avant-garde art and architecture movements of the time.
