As builders "employing the process art," the Greenes reached for perfection, and their work symbolizes the culmination of the 19th century idealism that had spawned the residential style. The distinguished photographer, William R. Current, has sensitively studied the remnants of what once were the finest homes in America. He has selected the elements that characterize the Greenes' work and has remained true to their original intent, while interpreting through his medium the essence of the Greenes' architectural statements. In his superb photographs, he has been able to isolate and interpret the Greenes' art; his images become works of art in their own right. His wife Karen supplied the text for this book. An in-depth study of the work of these influential figures in the American Arts & Crafts movement.
