Reviews for Between Garden and City: Jean Canneel-Claes and Landscape Modernism
An original work that sheds light on the overlooked modernist Belgian scene, focusing on the work of the remarkable garden architect Jean Canneel-Claes. Thanks to Dorothee Imbert's solid new interpretation and the exciting visual materials found in the archives, the genealogy of modernist landscape in Europe is significantly clarified. - Jean-Louis Cohen, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University
