Light Screens Return to the Martin House

Seven original windows designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Darwin Martin House in
Buffalo, New York, have come home. The light screens were purchased by the University of
Victoria in British Columbia more than 50 years ago, when the house was in decline. After
years of careful stewardship, “we are doing the ‘Wright’ thing by reuniting these stunningly
beautiful light screens within their original context,” said Mary Jo Hughes, the director of the
university’s Legacy Art Galleries. a The Martin house holds 16 patterns of art glass designed
exclusively for the Martins by Wright—the largest number in any of the architect’s residen-
tial designs. The patterns appear in doors, windows, lay lights, and sky lights. All are integral
to the overall architectural design of the Martin House Complex, which is managed by the
Martin House Restoration Corporation. (877) 377-3858, darwinmartinhouse.org

Art Tile Advocacy

As early as 1905, at least one magazine
writer was advocating the use of art
tile in American homes. “For the pur-
poses of decoration it is not always es-
sential nor even desirable that tiles be
mechanically perfect,” wrote Addison
Le Boutillier in the August 1905 issue of
Good Housekeeping. “A little irregular- S e l e c t SOURCES carreaux du nord carreauxdunord.com a clay squared

While almost every historic tilemaker working in
those traditions is long gone, the art tile movement of re-
cent years arguably is making up for the loss. And just as
kitchens have long since evolved from utilitarian spaces for
servants to the heart of family life, the art tile produced for
kitchen and bath walls today is well suited to modern life-
styles, without compromising the authenticity of the craft.

as original designs in the same style. Still other tile mak-
ers—including those shown on these pages—continue to

yet unmistakable as to maker, carrying on a tradition as old
as the Arts & Crafts movement itself. a

TOPCOATS AND FINISHES

Whether stained or left natural, every Arts & Crafts floor needs a good topcoat
(or at least a few coats of floor wax). Finishes are usually blends of natural plant-
or nut-based resins or oils suspended in or mixed with oil, alcohol, solvents,
or water, which cure to a hardened finish.
Polyurethane finishes are the easiest to apply, especially if they’re water-based.
Water-based polys require multiple coats (with sanding in between) for durability, but
dry quickly—usually in hours rather than days. These water-based finishes dry clear and
visually “float” on the surface, lacking some of the depth of oil-based polys and more
traditional treatments like tung oil. While they go on easily, refinishing a water- or
oil-based polyurethane requires sanding the old finish before applying a new coat.
Oil-modified polyurethanes are compositionally similar to water-based polys,
except that the resins are impregnated with oil. Drying times are much longer; allow
at least 24 hours between coats. Oil-based polys cure to a deep, durable, and abrasion
resistant finish with a slight amber color that approximates period varnish. While
water-based polys clean up with soap and water, oil-based ones require solvents
to clean hands and brushes.
Tung oil and polymerized tung oils penetrate rather than float on the surface of
the wood. Like oil-modified urethanes, tung oils require longer drying times between

A PASSION THAT STARTED WITH “TRASH
NIGHT” IN BROOKLYN FOUND FULL
EXPRESSION IN THE RESTORATION OF
THIS 1911 HOUSE IN OREGON.
BY DONNA PIZZI / PHOTOS BY BLACKSTONE EDGE STUDIOS
Many years ago , Nancy Conescu lived

in a Brooklyn neighborhood where she and friends scoured the
curb on trash night, looking for funky furniture and other dis-
cards. While she was at a gig (Nancy is a guitarist and singer of
traditional Irish music), “my friends crawled into the basement
of a condemned building and rescued a beautiful little mahoga-
ny desk with carved tobacco-leaf panels.” They gave the desk to
Nancy. The very next day, the condemned building was demol-
ished, along with everything in it.
“I learned years later that the Arts & Crafts desk was a
limited-edition L. & J.G. Stickley piece that the company gave to
their best customers.”
The daughter of New York architect and contractor the late
Herbert Cohn, Nancy knew from the moment she stepped into
the Ferdinand E. Reed house in Portland that it needed serious

Original built-ins flank the

dining room. opposite The
restored exterior of the 1911
Ferdinand E. Reed house in
Portland, Oregon, is painted in
a period-inspired fall palette.

That brick fireplace,
at one time “the bane of my
existence,” says Nancy, had wood
pillars resting atop the plinths on
brick corbels. They flanked a mirror
that, oddly, reflected inhabitants
from neck to belly. “The Colonial
Revival mantelshelf was so massive,
it had pulled away from the wall. It
dwarfed the fireplace,” Nancy says.
After removing three courses of
brick, she replaced the old mantel
with a shelf she designed based on
original built-ins in the dining room.
It’s made of Douglas fir.
She also expanded the

Hints on Collecting FOCUS! Homeowner and collector

Nancy Conescu loves paintings, but her interest in them pales in comparison to her passion for
pottery. Solution? “Buy a painting you like that has no particular provenance; the money you
save can be invested into the pottery you love.” a EDUCATE YOURSELF If a particular artist or
manufacturer interests you, really study their history. Become an informed collector so that you
can identify unrecognized treasures. a HORSETRADE Buy what you can afford now. As your
collection grows and your tastes change, you can trade or sell off pieces to reinvest in more desir-
able items as they come along. When dealers get to know you, they’ll give you a heads-up when
their inventory includes items of special interest.

TONALISM
Tonalism is a painting movement or artis-
tic style popular from about 1880 to 1915,
preceding Impressionism. Artists painted
landscapes with a colored atmosphere
or feeling of mist, emphasizing shadows
and using dark, neutral hues including
soft greys, browns, and blues. (By the

then finished in a studio indoors. George
Inness and James McNeill Whistler
were leading painters of this school.
Krueger begins on a modest scale: he’ll paint a small plein-air land-
scape on site, outdoors. “I’m a scrubber when I paint,” he says, “so I prefer the
rigidity of a hard panel surface.” He uses a gessoed Masonite panel, sometimes
Masonite wrapped in Belgian linen. Once back in his studio, he builds harmoni-
ous layers of color and pattern using glazes of translucent pigments that give his
brushstrokes a more diffuse and softer edge. The resulting unity of tone and a sat-
urated glow make his work unique. Although he calls the small pieces “studies,”
he intends for them to be finished paintings in themselves. The intimate scale
allows him to develop the composition and his beautiful tonal range. When he
scales up to a larger canvas—studio work not practical in the field—the composi-
tion is most often based on one or several of the smaller paintings.

She specified new finishes and the soft color palette, tak-

sensibility,” the designer explains. “We used a lot of greens and
even tied the interior design to inspirations from nature.”
