Title: Santa Fe Style; with Photographs by Jack Parson, Robert Reck and Others
Description: New York, Rizzoli, 1986. First Edition. Hardcover. Quato; pp; 264, index; profusely illustrated with color and black and white photographs; red cloth lettered in white in a pictorial dust jacket. Since the opening of the Santa Fe Trail in 1821, the town of Santa Fe, New Mexico, has been a rich source of original American design. Santa Fe Style explores the beginnings and current forms of this exciting design tradition, from the ancient inspiration of the Canyon de Chelly to the innovations of Frank Lloyd Wright and contemporary 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. Very good/very good.
