A propos de cet article

The format is approximately 10 inches by 10 inches. 264 pages. Illustrations (some in color). The dust jacket is price clipped. This is an oversized book that if sent outside of the United States would require additional shipping charges. Introduction, Santa Fe Setting, Pure and Simple, Along the Santa Fe Trail; Hacienda and Ranch, a View to the Future, Gardens and Outdoor Life, Sources, and Index. Santa Fe Style is the 1986 book that sparked a national design trend. Santa Fe Style explores the beginnings and current forms of this exciting design tradition, from the inspiration of the Canyon de Chelly to the innovations of Frank Lloyd Wright and passive-solar architects. The elements of style for which the area is known-- warm adobe brick, simple hand-carved furnishings, rough-hewn beams, Indian pottery, Navajo rugs, and colorful folk sculpture-- are all beautifully photographed in over 450 illustrations. Santa Fe's impact on American culture is greater than its size. The Spanish colonists who founded the town in 1608 adapted their European tradition to the Pueblo Indian building materials and methods, creating an architecture that is unique in the world. The spectacular surroundings of mountains and high desert drew twentieth-century writers and artists from D. H. Lawrence to Georgia O'Keeffe. Each new wave of settlers added to the Santa Fe style. Here is the irresistible appeal of its lifestyle-- a elegance enlivened by a dynamic, ever-changing mixture of the old and the new, the West and the East, the plain and the sophisticated. The illustrations offer a wide range of design ideas. It’s hard to overestimate the impact that Santa Fe Style had when it was first published in 1986 – how it captured the zeitgeist of the time for those who knew and loved Santa Fe, as well those who longed for a piece of it. Leaf through the book today, and you’ll realize just how relevant it remains. The warmth and closeness between Woods and Mather is clear, born of spending countless hours creating the book and their shared passion for the subject. They met when Woods (then a builder and designer) was redoing Mather’s former home, also in Santa Fe. Woods remembers Mather asking her, "If we could get along doing a remodel, do you think we could do a book?" Mather was curator of Spanish Colonial Art at the Museum of International Folk Art, from 1975 to 1984 (she was later Curator of Collections at the New Mexico Museum of Art, from 2002 to 2011) but her idea wasn’t for a typical museum book. The duo set out on an analog journey to track down and document the buildings that epitomized Santa Fe style, illustrating their findings with both original and archival photography. They worked with architectural photographer Robert Reck and filmmaker and photographer Jack Parsons and others. Armed with slides, a detailed business plan, and lots of ideas, they went to New York City. They got a book deal but it’s clear that Rizzoli, their publisher, had no idea how formidable the two were or how game-changing their book would be. Published in October 1986, the initial print run sold out in less than two months, and hit the New York Times bestseller list. At that time, it was the top selling book in the publisher’s history. The cover – a photo of a light-streaked adobe wall and a worn wooden table adorned only with an unglazed clay vase, a weathered ram’s skull, and a stone – flummoxed their publisher. The photo – taken at artist Forrest Moses’ home – was Santa Fe style. As they say in the book, "…these simple, beautiful objects not only created an aesthetically pleasing environment; they also became an artistic enterprise." Mather and Woods opened the book by looking at the critical impact of setting and also location to the homes. The importance of light, the native building materials used in construction, walls and fences both for protection and to declare ownership, as well as windows that were virtually absent in original adobe homes but later offered a.…
