(born 1906) A major figure in the American art and architecture communities in the twentieth century Johnson studied with German Walter Gropius at Harvard, was instrumental in promoting modern architecture in the United States and is credited with inventing the term “International Style.” Still practicing at his ninetieth birthday Johnson has been called an architectural “chameleon,” as his projects have shifted from International Style modernism to neoclassicism, postmodernism, even expressionism. Among Johnson’s more notable buildings are his Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, and Lincoln Center, the AT&T Building and the pinkglazed “lipstick building” in New York.
