The “Friends of Greystone” are tossing a “Tea and Talk” lecture – to be held in the living room of the Greystone Mansion – on Sunday July 15th at 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. in Beverly Hills.
The much-anticipated event is being presented by Steven Price.
The focus of the talk is on the architectural style known as “Mid Century Modern” which came about in Post-War living in Southern California.
The style is described as - “an exuberant optimistic vision of the future which employed dynamic forms and space-age materials to frame a backdrop to the American “good life” - according to the event organizers.
“No place personified that dream better than in California, and no place in California defined it better- and bigger – than in Beverly Hills. From the hillsides of Trousdale Estates, to the canyons of BHPO, to the flats reaching toward that new Century City rising in the distance” a promo on the subject asserts.
The lecture will toss a spotlight on notable “starchitects” of the day such as Richard Neutra, Walton Becket, John Lautner, Quincy Jones, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
Catch the enlightening talk (as you sip on tea catered by Jackson Catering) if you can, eh?
