Beautiful color photos, suitable for framing, of California Spanish Revival Grand Homes. I'd have liked more photos, but considering these tended to lean more towards artistic rather than photo-journalism.... I gave this a 3.5 because there just wasn't enough information on the history of the homes or enough photographs.... which I attribute to the fact that being the entire book is full one oversized page photograph after photograph, it must have been quite an expense to publish. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
California Romantica features the most important, yet rarely seen, residential exemplars of the California Mission and Spanish Colonial styles, by such noted architects as George Washington Smith, Wallace Neff, Richard Requa, Lilian Rice, and Paul R. Williams, among others. From whitewashed stucco walls and cloistered patios to tile roofs and sumptuous gardens, each house shown is a rare masterpiece, splendidly appointed with authentic Monterey furniture, California tile, and Navajo rugs. Among the magnificent seaside estates, canyon villas, and courtyard bungalows shown is Diane Keaton’s former home in Beverly Hills, which she thoughtfully restored with noted designer Stephen Shadley, and for which she has been recognized as a committed preservationist. She brings her cinematic eye, a keen sense of natural drama, and a profound appreciation for the nuances of shadow and light to the elucidation of these buildings, through the selection of specially commissioned photography. Authoritative text by D. J. Waldie lucidly explicates the architecture and provides an intimate tour of a historic and distinctly Californian lifestyle.

“By” Diane Keaton, with text and photos by other people. So what precisely did she do? The binding, maybe? I object to her being listed as the principle author, or even an author at all. ( )
