John Fowler - The Invention of the Country-House
Style
Edited by Helen Hughes
Papers from the conference:
Inspired by the Past: John Fowler's Approach to Decoration
and Restoration in a Changing World, London, 4 July 2001
During the course of his career the eminent interior designer
John Fowler, hailed as the ‘prince of decorators’ (1906–1977),
transformed some of Britain’s most important historic interiors.
His work has a lasting legacy – even today the ‘Fowler
style’ is tacitly accepted as the ‘correct’ style
for the decoration of a period interior.
This book, resulting from a one day symposium organized by English
Heritage and the Traditional Paint Forum, provides a fascinating
account of the work of John Fowler and of the radical representation
of historic interiors which took place before and after World
War II.
