American Modern: Architecture, Community – Columbus, Indiana by Matt Shaw – review by Anthony Paletta
Anthony Paletta: Modernism Comes to Middle America – American Modern: Architecture, Community – Columbus, Indiana by Matt Shaw
Columbus has been the subject of a few photographic volumes, and had a prominent turn in Kogonada’s 2017 film named after the place, but it has never had a proper history, a deficit very well remedied by Matt Shaw, a native of the city. He explains how and why a town of fifty thousand grips the imagination. Voluminous photos by Iwan Baan, a Centurion member of the architectural photography jet set, complement the text.
