Greene & Greene: The Blacker House
Editorial Reviews Review "Greene & Greene:The Blacker House" recounts the meticulous five-year restoration program that has brought the residence back to it's original glory. Written by Randell L. Makinson, director emeritus of the Gamble house and the leading Greene & Greene scholar, and photographer and Frank Lloyd Wright specialist Thomas A. Heinz, the book includes a black-and-white photo essay by Brad Pitt(yes, him).The actor's gimmicky pictures, shot with an infrared filter that gives trees and vegetation a ghostly spookiness, are proof of the architects' ability to inspire unlikely enthusiasts in many walks of life. Book Description Building on the success of his earlier books, Randell L. Makinson joins with Thomas Heinz and Brad Pitt in producing this rich monograph on the Robert Roe Blacker house, the largest and most elaborate of the refined Greene & Greene style. New color photographs provide the first full documentation of the house following its extensive five-year restoration, for which Makinson was the architect. This book has just been released, is already ranked #6 on the LA Times best seller list. Greene & Greene: The Blacker House
