Ushered behind the walls, gates, and doors of private México, we are introduced to an intriguing world of interior design and architecture--including the highly developed civilizations pre-dating the arrival of Columbus; the Spanish colonial arts; the dynamic response to global movements such as Art Deco and Surrealism; and a rich survey of modernist and contemporary work. Woven intricately into this history is Turner's own story of discovering the distinctive soul of México, where--in the spirit of memoirs in which a traveler discovers another country--he finds himself along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this vivid volume of color, texture and contrasts, Turner examines the extraordinary range of Mexican design with the insight of a true devotee. The breathtaking photography shows how every room, courtyard, loggia--and even a chair, or an arrangement of flowers--are part of a rich design heritage. Turner spent his magazine career chronicling American style, and now his unerring eye has turned to México. We are invited to join him on a voyage as he explores the homes of Mexicans and other expats who share his passion for authentic México--both past and present--and are inspired by the country's complex history and stunning landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNewell Turner \u003c\/b\u003eled the formation of the Hearst Design Group in 2012 and served as editorial director of \u003ci\u003eElle Decor\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHouse Beautiful\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eVeranda\u003c\/i\u003e.
