Description

An intimate and revealing number of photographs of astonishingly beautiful, iconic, and undiscovered mid-century interiors. Among significant mid-century interiors, none are more celebrated yet underpublished as the houses created by architects and interior decorators for themselves. This number of newly commissioned photographs presents essentially the most compelling homes by influential mid-century designers, such as Russel Wright, George Nakashima, Harry Bertoia, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eva Zeisel, among others. Intimate in addition to revelatory, Williamson’s photographs show these creative homes as they were lived in by their designers: Walter Gropius’s historic Bauhaus home in Massachusetts; Albert Frey’s floating modernist aerie on a Palm Springs rock outcropping; Wharton Esherick’s totally home made Pennsylvania house, from the organic handcarved staircase to the enduring furniture. Personal and breathtaking by flip—these homes are exemplary studies of domestic modernism at its warmest and such a lot creative.
