a master of his time

Mallgrave and the Getty have done it again, bridging the gap between modernity and 18th century classic culture. This beautiful edition, supported on the vast culture of its editors, gives us the image of Wagner as a master, more than a simple architect. In this sense his observations on style, life, architecture, drafting, etc., all melt together, and become general, powerful ideas.
