Situated in a Mediterranean landscape, the Maeght Foundation is a
unique Modernist museum, product of an extraordinary collaboration
between the architect, Jose Luis Sert, and the artists whose work
was to be displayed there. The architecture, garden design and art
offer a rare opportunity to see work in settings conceived in
active collaboration with the artists themselves. By focusing on
the relationship between this art foundation and its Arcadian
setting, including Joan Miro's labyrinth, George Braque's pool,
Tal-Coat's mosaic wall and Giacometti's terrace, Jan K. Birksted
demonstrates how the building articulates many of the ideas that
preoccupied this group of artists during the culminating years of
their lives. The study pays special attention to the ways in which
architecture can shape the experience of time, and addresses the
Modernist desire for wilderness and its problematic roots in the
classical Mediterranean ideal. In showing how the design of the
Maeght Foundation is a Modernist representation of Mediterranean
culture, the author has developed an interpretation of architecture
that accommodates not only the architect's handling of material or
function, but shows as well how it can be the embodiment of a
particular vision of space and time.
