Contemporary American Woodworkers
This delightful book gives a personal insight into the lives and careers of ten of America's most outstanding, influential, and sometimes controversial, furniture craftsmen and woodworkers. These artisans include Warton Esherick, George Nakashima, Tage Frid, Wendell Castle, and Jere Osgood, all of whom uniquely contributed to the revival of the American crafts movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Beautifully illustrated, this book entertains and informs decorative arts enthusiasts about the efforts used to create and execute innovative ideas. Highly recommended.
