Charles and Henry Greene created the definitive houses of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. Raised to be architects, the Greene brothers were educated together at MIT, where their natural artistic skills blossomed in concert with an excellent practical education. While they practised architecture jointly in Southern California from 1906 to 1922 they achieved a powerful symbiosis, resulting in some of the most beautifully crafted houses in America. The elegant works of their peak period, such as the Gamble, Blacker and Thorsen houses, are masterful in their design and execution. No detail was overlooked every element of the interior, including furniture, fittings and glasswork, building structure (down to pegs, air-vents and bracing) was conceived as an organic whole, and finished exquisitely. This monograph, which charts the brothers careers (together and apart), is illustrated with superb new photography and draws on a wealth of previously unpublished archival material.
