Anti-commercial and anti-modern, the California Arts and Crafts Movement drew upon the decorative schemes of English Tudor, Swiss chalet, Japanese temple, and Spanish mission, evoking an earlier time before modern industry and technology intruded. This book celebrates the Movement with chapters on architects such as Bernard Maybeck, Charles and Henry Greene, John Galen Howard, and Julia Morgan. 365 duotone photos.
