By Harvey L. Jones. New softcover edition.
San Francisco artists Arthur F. Mathews (1860-1945) and Lucia K. Mathews (1870-1955) were key players in California history and in encouraging a west coast aesthetic. Their murals, paintings, furniture, interior design, graphics and other objects defined what has become the California Decorative Style. Dreamy windswept scenes of the Monterey coast and mythical figures dancing in idyllic landscapes evoke a new Acadia, where everything has a golden glow. Published with the Oakland Museum, this Smyth-sewn book is a comprehensive Mathews retrospective. Includes bibliography, forward by Kevin Starr and essay by Kenneth R. Trapp.
