Opis produktu

Lonn Taylor is an authority on the architecture furniture and decorative arts of the American Southwest. He had a twentyyear career at the Smithsonian Institutions National Museum of American History in Washington D.C. and also served as Director of the University of Texas at Austins Winedale Historical Center.The art of furniture making flourished in Texas during the midnineteenth century. To document this rich heritage of locally made furniture Miss Ima Hogg the wellknown philanthropist and collector of American decorative arts enlisted Lonn Taylor and David B. Warren to research early Texas furniture and its makers. After more than a decade of investigation they published citeTexas Furniture/cite in 1975 and it quickly became the authoritative reference on this subject. An updated edition citeTexas Furniture Volume One/cite was issued in the spring of 2012./citeTexas Furniture Volume Two/cite presents over 150 additional pieces of furniture that were not included in citeVolume One/cite each superbly photographed in color and accompanied by detailed descriptions of the pieces maker date materials measurements history and owner as well as an analysis by the authors. Taylor and Warren have also written a new introduction for this volume in which they amplify the story of early Texas furniture. In particular they compare and contrast the two important traditions of cabinetmaking in Texas AngloAmerican and German and identify previously unknown artisans. The authors also discuss nineteenthcentury Texans desire for refinement and gentility in furniture noncommercial furniture making and marquetry work. And they pay tribute to the twentiethcentury collectors who first recognized the value of locally made Texas furniture and worked to preserve it. A checklist of Texas cabinetmakers which contains biographical information on approximately nine hundred men who made furniture in Texas completes the volume./ul lForeword by Don Carleton/l lAcknowledgments/l lIntroduction/l l 1.
