Book excerpt: Excerpt from Artistic Country-Seats, Vol. 1: Types of Recent American Villa and Cottage Architecture; With Instances of Country Clubhouses IN the Renaissance of American art, which, beginning with the year of the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia, has produced the Society of Ameri can Artists, the National Opera Company, and the Society of American Wood Engravers, the architect has been conspicuous. He has created the American country-seat, and he rests upon it his claim to distinction. This fact was recognized a short time ago by a committee of architects from Great Britain who had been sent to this country to inquire into the condition of our archi tecture, and who found in the country-seat the American architect's chief triumph.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Artistic Country-Seats: Cottage Villa, Club-House The excellence of the shingling as a piece of mechanism will not escape attention. All the shingle-courses had to be brought up with such correctness that, after following around the house, they should meet again exactly, without fault or blemish. The workman, indeed, used a spirit-level after finishing every four or five courses, to see if he was coming out right, knowing that he could not hide his defects with a molding, because no molding was to be used. All the lines of the shingles go all the way around and meet, and the point of meeting is single. It is only just to say that the portal effect marks a distinct step toward an American style of architecture. For, although in the height of its roof this house is rather French, and in certain of its windows decidedly English, still it belongs to no special style, and can not logically be classified under any. The plain fact is that Mr. Price, using the good points of the English and French styles, has constructed a style of his own, and this style is a stepping stone toward the establishment of a truly national style. The interior decorations of Mr. Van Buren's house are principally in open timbered ceilings, and in the Open staircase. There is no notable mantel, nor does a detailed description of any room seem to be necessary. The cost was only about ten thousand dollars, and the result is probably as striking and as comfortable as can be found elsewhere for the money, the plumbing alone repre senting nine hundred dollars. There is a kitchen - basement, and it may be added that Mr. Price, on the whole, believes in the kitchen - basement, because it encourages the servants to keep to themselves, and as for the odors of the cooking that sometimes arise - well, you generally get them, anyhow, when the wind is in the right direction. The architect prepared for the builder, first, all the plans; second, all the details, in full - size drawings; third, drawings representing the framing of the house, every stud and timber being shown in its frame position; fourth, bills Of quantities of the materials used in the construction; and all these separate drawings and memoranda were made in triplicate - one set for the architect.

Book excerpt: Creating the Artful Home: the Aesthetic Movement and Its Influence on Home Decor covers the history of a movement that emphasized "art for art's sake"-and the influence it had on home decor. The Aesthetic Movement in America lasted just a few decades (1870-1900), and served mainly as a bridge between the high Victorian sensibility and the radical shift to the Arts & Crafts style. The movement germinated among artists who used opulent color, decorative patterning, and lavish materials simply for the aesthetic effects they could evoke. It was commonly held that a home that expressed an artful, harmonious soul would instill high aesthetic and moral merit in its inhabitants. The Aesthetic Movement in America helped to popularize the idea that everyone should be able to enjoy beautiful, well-made homes and furnishings-not just the very wealthy. Artful homes could be composed from brilliant antique store finds, discriminating department store purchases, and gems hand-made by the ladies of the house. It was the moment when people embraced the idea that only a beautiful home could be a happy home. Karen Zukowski delves into the movement's establishment, evolution, and main characters, and shows how today's homes can incorporate Aesthetic principles: Through suggestion rather than statement, sensuality, massive use of symbols, and synaesthetic effects-that is, correspondence between words, colors and music. How influential designers such as Clarence Cook and Charles Eastlake popularized the idea that beautiful homes with tasteful furnishings could be available to practically everyone How today's designers, manufacturers, and retailers deploy the very same stylistic markers of the Aesthetic Movement: rich color, layered pattern and texture, mixtures of historical motifs
