A rich collection of imagery explores the actual homes of three of the most esteemed wood artistcraftsmen of the modern era Wharton Esherick, Sam Maloof, and George Nakashima. Tour the private homes of these masters and compare their innovations and vision through the medium of their own homes, gardens, and work areas. Step into their environments, where aesthetics are most accurately realized. Youll delight in Eshericks humble mountaintop home where straight lines were purposefully forbidden, and Maloofs sprawling California home that expresses his inexhaustible creativity and industriousness. Nakashimas home is a harmonious marriage of Japanese influences with Pennsylvanias rich natural resources. This book is a must-have for devotees of these artists, as well as aspiring woodworkers who want tutelage from the top.
