Albert Hadley is one of the most brilliant and influential designers America has ever produced. Here, in his own words, is the story of his rise from ancestral homes in Nashville to apartments in New York, and from a creative small town childhood to a dedicated career as America's preeminent decorator. His work at school and his life in the city cemented his future in design, and brought him into contact with his own heroes of twentieth century taste. Hadley's anecdotes take us from teaching at Parsons to working with Erica Brown at McMillen, and from the influential Parish-Hadley partnership to today's Albert Hadley, Inc. . Whether experimenting on his own apartments or fulfilling commissions for celebrated clients, Hadley's enthusiasm for interiors and his commitment to the people he worked with are striking throughout. In 'Albert Hadley: The Man And His Work', Adam Lewis has succeeded both in capturing a time and a place now long forgotten, and in doing justice to the warm character and thoughtful philosophy behind one of America's greatest interior designers.
