Class Act: William Haines, Legendary Hollywood Decorator - Schifando, Mathison
About the Item
First edition, published by Pointed Leaf Press, 2005. Text by Peter Schifando and Jean H. Mathison
Drawing on a trove of photographs and archival materials, this book reveals how William Haines’ career as a decorator flourished after an early career as a leading man opposite many of Hollywood’s most famous stars of the 1920s and 1930s. It reveals a style considered luxurious and modern by his costars and the elite movie industry figures he designed for, such as mogul Jack Warner and director George Cukor. Showing his important projects as well as his famous Hostess and Elbow chair designs, it is sure to be a primary source for decorators, furniture designers and those interested in the career of this original and creative personality.
Hardback in original dust jacket, over 200 pages copiously illustrated with black and white and colour photographs and drawings. Text in English language throughout.
