About the book
This is the compelling story of the creation and renovation of residences that were home to Morris Graves, a leading figure in Northwest Art, co-founder of the Northwest School art movement and one of the most important American artists of the 20th century. Morris Graves: His Houses, His Gardens concerns itself with four locations - The Rock, Careladen, Woodtown Manor and The Lake. Svare asserts that the world Morris Graves inhabited physically was the world he experienced transcendentally. Graves' path was that of a solitary romantic nourished by his surroundings.
