Work of Art by Sinclair Lewis
About the Item
Work of Art by Sinclair Lewis. Doubleday, Doran & Co., 1935. "This is the story of Myron Weagle and of America. Myron wanted to create the perfect hotel, a work of art. He worked and dreamed his way from bell boy in the American House in Black Thread Center, where Pa and Ma Weagle kept the brass-bound register on a swivel, to head of one of the six largest hotels in the world. His progress is a great panorama of America, done with sympathy and vitriol." In work of art three generations of the Weagle family grow up in and work for boarding houses, inns and hotels. Focus is on two brothers, Myron and Ora, of the second generation. Poetic, ethereal Ora could not wait to escape hotel drudgery, though never too proud to ask plodding Myron for money. Sinclair Lewis, tells a great story: this time about the ups and Downs in a rising America's unending pursuit of craftsmanship and material success.

- Billy Baldwin: The Great American Decorator by Adam Lewis (Book)Located in North Yorkshire, GBThe 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 colour. 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 coloured, and above all American. An enemy of clutter and conspicuous wealth, he favoured natural materials and comfortable furniture. The drama in his rooms often came from colour, as seen in the dark brown lacquered walls of Cole Porter’s library or the scarlet cotton print that covered Diana Vreeland’s apartment. Immensely charming, Baldwin was a popular addition to the high society of New York. His clients included Bill and Deeda Blair, Babe and Bill Paley...Category
