European influences, American ingenuity and the optimism of the era all contributed to the rise of new design ideals for domestic, commercial and industrial construction in post-war United States.
Gamble House Director Ted Bosley will examine the influence of Arts and Crafts masters Greene and Greene on Post-War Modernism, and how the architectural style reconciled craft traditions with industrial technology. In the 1940s and '50s, House Beautiful magazine vigorously promoted the Greenes as legitimate forerunners of American modernism, sparking a political debate that went far beyond the design world.
Director of the Gamble House since 1992, Ted Bosley has since published and lectured widely on The Gamble House, Greene and Greene, and the American Arts and Crafts Movement. With Anne E. Mallek, Gamble House curator, he co-edited A 'New and Native' Beauty: The Art and Craft of Greene & Greene, and co-curated the exhibition of the same name which toured the United States in 2008-2009.
