According to Thomas S. Hines, UCLA professor of history and architecture, the entertainment industry of yesteryear was not solely drawn to kitsch and glitz. Kicking off the Hollyhock House’s new lecture series, Hines will discuss “The Other Hollywood: Modern Architecture and the Los Angeles Film Community.” With a focus on the two dominant branches of architectural modernism – rationalism and expressionism – Hines relays how architectural trendsetters like Lloyd Wright and Richard Neutra captivated a movement of sophisticated actors, writers, directors and producers.
The lecture will take place at the Barnsdall Gallery Theater with a reception to follow at the Hollyhock House.
