1) Hardcover Book Hector Guimard: Architect, Designer (1867-1942) by Delano Greenridge Editions. I recently wrote my undergraduate Art History thesis on Guimard´s Paris Metro entrances and if not for this book, I would have barely been able to write the paper. This is by far the best book on Guimard that exists (especially in English). Vigne writes about details of Guimard´s life that no other book even hinted at. He read personal letters of Guimard´s and definitely did his research in order to give the reader the most in depth biography of Guimard I found. Also, Vigne used Ferre´s photos to beautifully illustrate Guimard´s works. I feel so lucky to have found this book not only for the sake of my thesis, but for my interest in Guimard as a whole.¤ 2) Hardcover Book Hector Guimard: Architect, Designer (1867-1942) by Delano Greenridge Editions. HECTOR GUIMARD: ARCHITECT, DESIGNER, 1867–1942 provides a comprehensive look at the grand architect of Parisian Art Nouveau. With more than 680 illustrations in color and black and white, the book is based on Felipe Ferré’s remarkable photographic survey of Guimard’s buildings, furniture, objects and interiors. Set in the context of George Vigne’s history and biography, Ferré’s photography triumphantly reasserts this visionary master’s place in the history of architecture.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
