Title: If you want to figure out how Greene & Greene's designs worked, this is a great place to start.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2013
Review: A good architectural design - especially as one as in-depth as the Greenes', which at times included furniture as well as architecture and landscaping - is like a hundred-piece orchestra. Each cloud lift and ebony spline is like a note being played by a skilled musician, with the Greenes conducting. Like any work of art, each has its own design grammar; and like any design grammar, theirs is not monolithic. Over time, it evolved, picking up some elements and discarding others. Certain elements were used in some contexts but not others, according to the state of the design grammar at the time, as well as how the elements worked as a part of the whole design. There was a certain understated quality - the Craftsman movement was partly a rejection of the overwrought Victorian designs that preceded it - and so everything was laid out just so.

There are many examples of people admiring the Greenes' work, and deciding that they want similar furniture (or a remodel, or an entirely new home) that looks as though the Greenes designed it. However, these are often executed with only a poor understanding of the Greenes' design grammar, or the particular expressions of intention that were built around it as it matured over the years.

If you are interested in understanding the Greenes' design grammar, and how it evolved over the years, and how they wove their intentions around it in different contexts and for different purposes, you have to load up your brain with as many of their patterns and sequences as you can. You have to learn about their personal history, where they were educated, and how. You need to know about the Craftsman movement, including what parts of it they embraced (such as its architecture, and the craftsman as the end product, not just the finished work) and which they didn't (socialism.) You need to understand that they were trained in woodworking as teenagers, and in the Beaux-Arts style at MIT, and that they found the social atmosphere of early 1900s Pasadena to be far less conformist and restrictive than what they left behind on the opposite side of the country. You must also be aware that Charles was fascinated with Japanese architecture and other forms of art.

Their masterpieces were designed as though they flowed naturally from and with their surroundings; each design worked with the particulars of each site. You have to look at every photograph and drawing you can get your hands on, so that your brain can start to intuit what belongs where - and what else it relates to - and why they most likely did it that way, and not some other.

You must learn the particulars of each element, but you must also learn their sequence. The style changed over time, and there is real meaning in those changes. There are things they did earlier in their careers, but not later. There are things they did in the Blacker House that they never did again - not because they came up with something better, but because they thought of that house as their magnum opus. Likewise, there were elements they used in their mansions that they didn't use in their regular houses.

If you could actually watch Charles Greene sit down, draft a design, erase a part of it and replace it with something else, then throw away the entire sheet and start anew with something better, you would eventually find yourself able to predict what he would do next. Over time, your predictions would get more and more accurate. You would not only see the patterns he used, but the sequences in which he used them. That is precisely the way the human brain operates internally, and so presenting it with data in that format is the best way for it to learn.

Unfortunately, this is not possible. However, with this book - which should NOT be your only source of information, I might add - you can derive a lot of benefit. It highlights the design elements - exteriors, interiors, staircases, fireplaces, furniture, etc. - and then it shows a nice selection of their houses in chronological order. So, you get a vast array of patterns, as well as the sequences that organize them relative to one another and relative to the particulars of each house. Seeing the order in which the elements were added makes each one stand out in a design - in form, function, and relation to other things. Now, you can view their work in a whole new light. You can see that it's beautiful - but you can also see WHY it's beautiful. You can become intimately familiar with as many details as you like, and the whole piece will seem that much more nuanced and gorgeous.

This is what you really need before you can ask yourself, "How would Charles and Henry have done this?" You won't necessarily get the answer 100% right, but the more information you have memorized, the better your intuition will be able to serve you.

Title: The Greenes rival F.L. Wright; this book shows us why.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 1998
Review: The story of the Greene brothers is bittersweet. Greene and Greene built, in their day, houses that rival Frank Lloyd Wright's. Their day was short, however, and their fame never reached Wright's. You will agree after reading "Greene & Greene: Masterworks", that their art was as brilliantly creative and harmonious as that of Wright.
In this book we sample what remains of their work, both the almost-forgotten houses, and those better-known, in particular the houses in Pasadena, CA, including the Gamble House. (This house is open to the public and anyone who finds himself south of the Tehachapi should make the pilgrimage.) Until then, "Greene & Greene: Masterworks" will give you a feel for the smooth, integrated beauty and grace of the creations of these arts-and-crafts architects.
Their genius can be seen in the details, which make a Greene and Green house akin to a wooden puzzle, each piece of which is entirely necessary to the whole. The book presents photos of the warm beauty of the wood used by the Greenes and the detail that integrates the rooms inside with the porches, roofs, and doors outside and relates the entire house to its site. The Greene brothers' work glows with extraordinary creativity and this book, with words and pictures, helps us to understand what they were doing and to grasp their importance.
The careers of the brothers were dissipated by the depression, denying us the larger body of work and the public buildings we might have had if they had continued working into their full maturity. Greene & Greene: Masterworks is a fine begining of a more widespread knowledge of the Greenes and their beautiful houses.

Title: Great photography and detail
Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014
Review: I really love this book. I'm the type of person who really gets lost in these types of books, and this one is no exception. I could look through these photographs for hours. The detailed descriptions of each project are also very impressive. As other reviewers have mentioned, it would be really nice to see scale floor plans of the homes, but I understand why they were not included. I'd bet they don't exist anymore for most of the houses.

The book gives the reader great insight into the development of the Greene and Greene style and the relationship between the brothers. I'm glad that the craftspeople who were contracted to build the houses were also discussed in many cases. That information provides avenues for more exploration and research.

I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone with a budding or developed appreciation for Greene and Green or the Arts and Crafts movement in general. It's a wonderful addition to my library.

Title: Greene and Greene Masterworks. Good Not Great
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2010
Review: The photography in this book is fabulous and captures the essence and mood of the houses, but the thing that a book titled "Masterworks" ultimately needs is the floorplans and drawings so that you can really get a true perspective of the work. A few photographs just don't do the houses justice and you can't piece it all together.
The other reason I like seeing plans and elevations is so that I can see if the finished house is what was put to paper. Nonetheless, it is a nice book and worth having.

Title: Fabulous Fotos
Date: Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2020
Review: This is a beautiful book. Great photos with just the right amount of info. I'm a huge fan of the Greene brothers if you are too then you'll appreciate this book. If you don't know who they are but appreciate craftsman architecture then they were the best in practice so you'll love this book.

Title: Excellent quality book
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2014
Review: This is really a high quality book with thick pages and great pictures of the bigger famous Greene and Greene houses. I was buying it for inspiration for building my own house and it turns out I don't like Greene and Greens that much so I sent it back. This would make a great coffee table book.

No problems at all with returning though I did have to pay shipping because it wasn't a problem with the product. That is Amazon's policy and I knew that when I bought
