"Michael Taylor (1927-1986)-dubbed "the James Dean of interior design" by the legendary Diana Vreeland and "the best decorator in the United States" by society and fashion photographer Cecil Beaton-revolutionized interior design in the 1970s and 1980s with the "California Look" that brought the outdoors inside. Time magazine proclaimed in 1986 that Taylor was "the designer who brought logs, bark, and wicker inside the home, then stripped the floors, painted walls white and often added an ancient vase to produce an airy, informal, yet still classic quality." "Taylor's personality as well as his interiors were larger than life. He began his career as a design assistant to several prominent designers in San Francisco before establishing his own business in 1954. He soon became the favorite of San Francisco's elite, inheriting many of the famous designer Frances Elkins's clients after her death in 1953. Taylor was Elkins's greatest disciple, although they never worked together, and he incorporated her use of complementary colors and the furnishings of designers Jean-Michel Frank and Alberto Giacometti. He mixed casual pieces with formal, modern rustic with antique, to create comfortable and eclectic interiors that were sought after by Hollywood stars, society leaders, and prominent civic leaders alike." "Among the notable interiors covered in this lavishly illustrated book are Taylor's own Sea Cliff home and office; the restaurant Fleur de Lys in San Francisco, California (1970); the Auberge du Soleil in Napa Valley, California [1980]; a villa for a sheikh in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (1982); and fifty commissions for a wide variety of clients around the world. Michael Taylor's work and the "California Look" continue to influence interior design today."--Jacket.
