Samuel Abraham Marx
Samuel Abraham Marx (August 27, 1885 - January 1964) was an American architect, designer and interior decorator. He is generally considered a modernist, influenced by the International style.
==Biography==
Marx was born to a Jewish family in Natchez, Mississippi, in 1885.〔(American Jewish Archives: "Marx, Samuel Abraham; b. Natchez, Aug 27 1885; d. Jan 1964" ) p. 423〕 He graduated from MIT's Department of Architecture in 1907, with his thesis ''Design for a Synagogue''. He then went studying to Europe for eight months.
Before opening his own practice, he worked for Killham & Hopkins in Boston, and for Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge in Chicago. While he originally designed interior of hotels and department stores, Marx became a mostly residential architect, designing stripped-down buildings reminiscent of Mies van der Rohe's works, while he became respected for his aesthetic and functional integrated furnitures and decorative elements.
Along with his third wife, Florene May (daughter of David May, the founder of The May Department Stores Company), he was an avid art collector. While many of his buildings were razed, his enormous collection was dispersed over the years.
