Billy Baldwin - The Great American Decorator

by Albert Hadley, Adam Lewis
Billy Baldwin - The Great American Decorator - Thryft
Billy Baldwin - The Great American Decorator - Thryft

Classical modernism meets vibrant interior elegance.

Delving into Billy Baldwin's work could be akin to walking through a living gallery of timeless design. If your space feels like it could use a touch of understated sophistication or a bold splash of color, imagine stepping into the pages where Baldwin's signature style comes to life. It's not just about decorating; it's about creating an atmosphere that withstands the test of time.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The definitive book on the legendary decorator Billy Baldwin, known as the "Dean of American Decorating," famous for his classical taste, streamlined modernism, and brilliant use of color. In the tradition of Rizzoli’s Albert Hadley and David Hicks, this is the first fully illustrated account of the career of Billy Baldwin (1903–1983), one of the most important decorators of the twentieth century, whose work has influenced contemporary designers from Bunny Williams to Jeffrey Bilhuber. A native of Baltimore, Baldwin’s work caught the eye of eminent New York decorator Ruby Ross Wood. She invited him to join her firm, saying his work stood out "like a beacon of light in the boredom of the houses around it." Baldwin’s style was a revelation€”simultaneously classical and modernist, tailored and clean, yet dramatically colored, and above all American. An enemy of clutter and conspicuous wealth, he favored natural materials and comfortable furniture.
