Description
The writer Gran Schildt, who was born in 1917, was close conversational companion for Alvar Aalto. Schildt has written a number of books about his architect friend, of which the 3-volume monograph, which has been translated into many languages, has become a basic source for research and writing on Aalto. This work, Alvar Aalto: His life, brings together the biographical aspects of the monograph under single covers.
In the texts of Schildt, Alvar Aalto becomes a living person. Age difference presented no obstacle to the friendship, which was based on mutual respect and a shared cultural backround. Conversational topics abounded, from the classics of ancient literature to painting and architecture, from the problems of Nordic welfare society to the contemporary Mediterranean countries. The attitude to life of both men was marked by an open curiosity towards everything human.
