Ashley Hicks has created a mix of manifesto, souvenir album, and
confession in this collection of noteworthy rooms featuring his own
one-of-a-kind interiors along with rooms that have inspired him.
The manifesto aspect is rather limited, since Hicks is not a great
believer in aesthetic rules or the value of so-called good taste,
but as a souvenir album, it charts Hicks s personal creative
journey of the last few years, illustrated with photographs of some
favorite historical interiors and objects that represent a mixture
of source material and inspiration. The book s twelve chapters
reveal Hicks s creative process, how he approaches different themes
in his own interiors, furniture designs, and works of art, and how
these themes can be applied to the works of others. Such subjects
as flowers, color, layers, form, pattern, and memory are presented
in the context of actual projects. Historical and recent interiors
are discussed for their decorative value notable rooms and
architecture, including the Pantheon in Rome; Emperor Maximilian s
tomb in Innsbruck; the Royal Pavilion, Brighton; and the Petit
Trianon at Versailles. Hicks has created a book for devotees of
decorating and the history of interior design.
