Editorial Reviews:

In the first decades of the 20th century, Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene almost single-handedly defined the Arts and Crafts aesthetic in America as the architectural firm Greene & Greene. The only full-color survey of the firm's greatest works-including several newly restored to their original grandeur-Greene & Greene reveals the consummate artistry that ensured the brothers' place among the most brilliant of American architects. An in-depth tour of 25 magnificent homes, this book examines the creative evolution of their style. From the Gamble House in Pasadena, California whose director contributes the book's foreword to lesser-known gems throughout the state, Greene & Greene is a wonderful introduction to the brothers' work, and a warm homage to the charms of this refined domestic architecture.


User Comments about the Greene and Greene: Masterworks

A superb look a the Greene Brother's masterpiece ultimate bungalows. Influences on the Greenes are coupled with a well laid out timeline give you a real view into the evolution of their style. It includes some of the best Greene and Greene photography I've ever seen, and has a very good look at the details of the architecture, and the internals of the Greene and Greene houses. This book focuses more on the houses themselves, and the fixed appointments therein, rather than the furniture itself.



Excellent. The best book on this subject I've ever seen.



Superb photoraphic illustration depicts the design genius of the Greene brothers. A comprehensive study of leading architects of the Arts & Crafts movement.a high compliment to the monumental craftsmanship of those who executed their designs.



The book is beautiful, filled with both architectural ideas and furnishing ideas for items done in the craftsman style. Some of the stonework illustrated is breathtaking in its beauty. I purchased the book for these ideas and was delighted with all the pictures.



We were very disappointed at the quality of printing, inferior paper stock, and lack of clarity in the photographs. At the "coffee table" price we were expecting much higher resolution in the color photographs and better quality paper.
