TEXTS & DOCUMENTS A SERIES OF THE GETTY CENTER PUBLICATION PROGRAMS The TEXTS & DOCUMENTS series offers to the student of art, architecture, and aesthetics neglected, forgotten, or unavailable writings in English translation. Edited according to modern standards of scholarship and framed by critical intro- ductions and commentaries, these volumes gradually mine the past centuries for studies that retain their significance in our understanding of art and of the issues surrounding its production, reception, and interpretation. Eminent scholars guide the Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities in the selection and publication of TEXTS & DOCUMENTS. Each volume ac- quaints readers with the broader cultural conditions at the genesis of the text and equips them with the needed apparatus for its study. Over time the series will greatly expand our horizon and deepen our understanding of critical thinking on art. Julia Bloomfield, Thomas F. Reese, Salvatore Settis, Editors Kurt W.

CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS xi STANFORD ANDERSON—INTRODUCTION 1 HERMANN MUTHESIUS— STYLE-ARCHITECTURE AND BUILDING-ART: TRANSFORMATIONS OF ARCHITECTURE IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AND ITS PRESENT CONDITION 45 BIBLIOGRAPHY 107 INDEX 127 This page intentionally left blank ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I owe a special debt of gratitude to Harry Mallgrave for his thorough editing of both the translation of Stilarchitektur und Baukunst and my essay on that work. Professor Julius Posener of Berlin gave me welcome assurance through his appreciative reading of the essay. Dr. Hans-Joachim Hubrich of Everswinkel, Germany, kindly provided a copy of the second edition of Stilarchitektur, and my colleague Dr. Akos Mora- vanszky always made himself available for consultation. The library of the Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities, the Kunst- bibliothek in Berlin, the Landesbibliothek in Karlsruhe, the Rotch Library of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Professor Werner Oechslin of Einsied- eln, Switzerland, generously supplied copies of Stilarchitektur and other materials by or on Hermann Muthesius. My assistants at MIT, Anne Simunovic and Samuel Isenstadt, endured every request. I am also grateful for the careful and solicitious efforts of those associated with the Getty Center: Julia Bloomfield, Michelle Ghaffari, Lynne Kostman, and Tyson Gas- kill. My thanks also to the designer of this volume, Lorraine Wild. —S.A.
