The rooms display the cluttered charm that only two centuries of daily use can bring. Bush revels in textures: flaking plaster, rubbed wood, well-worn carpets. This book celebrates old but ageless beauty...
Marisol, the renowned wood sculptor, fashioned the figures on the cover from pinewood and plywood and hand-painted the suit. Marisol also did TIME's Hugh Hefner cover in 1967 and the Nixon-Kissinger Men of the Year cover for 1972. Although she supports feminist causes, Marisol prefers another label. "I'm not a feminist," says she. "I'm an artist...
