A highly anticipated look at the life and work of one of
turn-of-the-century America's most creative and influential
furniture designers Charles Rohlfs (1853-1936) ranked among the
most innovative furniture makers at the turn of the twentieth
century. Praised by the international press and exhibited
throughout the United States and Europe, his beautiful works grew
out of an interesting mix of styles that included Arts and Crafts,
Art Nouveau, and proto-modernism. This book presents the first
major study of this important American designer and craftsman,
drawing upon new photographs and fresh sources of information.
Alongside traditional historical approaches, the book presents
detailed formal, structural, and stylistic analyses of Rohlfs's
well-known masterpieces from major museums, together with
lesser-known objects in public and private collections. Topics
include discovering the contribution of Rohlfs's wife-mystery
novelist Anna Katharine Green-to his designs; the far-ranging
sources of his idiosyncratic motifs; his influence on Gustav
Stickley's designs; his commissioned interiors; his efforts at
self-promotion and marketing; and his attempts to define a
conceptual framework for his artistic endeavor. Handsomely designed
and illustrated, the book also features a complete set of
unpublished period illustrations of over seventy works. Published
in association with American Decorative Art 1900 Foundation
