In 1940, John Entenza joined California Arts and Architecture magazine as editor. By 1943, he had completely overhauled the magazine and renamed it
Arts & Architecture Magazine. During his editorship,
Arts & Architecture Magazine championed all that was new in the arts, with special emphasis on emerging modernist
architecture in
Southern California. He made it the first American magazine to popularize the work of
Hans Hofmann,
Craig Ellwood,
Margaret DePatta,
George Nakashima,
Bernard Rosenthal,
Charles Eames,
Konrad Wachsmann,
Jan De Swart and many others. Entenza served as director of the
Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts in Chicago from 1960 until his retirement in 1971. He received a Distinguished Service citation from the
American Institute of Architects. He also served as a trustee of the
Amon Carter Museum of American Art. Entenza died of cancer in La Jolla, California at the age of 78. ==Case Study Houses==
