"Russel Wright. Creating American Lifestyle"
By Donald Albrecht, Robert Schonfeld & Lindsay Stamm Shapiro.
Published by the Cooper-Hewitt Museum and Harry N. Abrams in 2001.
“A master of 20th-century design, Russel Wright was a prolific and influential creator of items for the home, most famously his curvaceous American Modern dinnerware. Wright designed furniture, appliances, textiles, interiors, buildings, and landscapes, and with his wife Mary developed the concept of lifestyle marketing. Their 1950 Guide to Easier Living helped define a relaxed entertaining and living style that Americans still embrace today. This book describes his career and shows his work in 154 photographs, most in color, including page-filling settings created for this book and images of his Hudson Valley home Dragon Rock.”
