Gallery Talk/Lecture "A New and Native Beauty": The Art and Craft of Greene & Greene Wednesday, November 5, 2008 6:30 PM
Charles Sumner Greene and his brother Henry Mather Greene, two of the most successful American architects and furniture designers working in the Arts and Crafts tradition, are known for their California houses, of which the most important is the Pasadena home they designed and furnished for David Perry Gamble in 1908. In his talk, Edward R. Bosley, director of the Gamble House, puts the Greenes' work in historical context, arguing that it both expressed the anti-modernism characteristic of the Arts and Crafts movement and helped prepare the way for the innovations of midtwentieth-century modernism.
This lecture is supported by the Ida and Conrad H. Smith Fund, which was established by the Raymond C. Smith Foundation Fund of the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan.
