Needed Reading: ‘Nation Life: Residence of the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Valley,’ by William Abranowicz
Veteran architectural professional photographer William Abranowicz’s newest book, Nation Life: Residence of the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Valley (Vendome), checks out 20 distinct duration and modern homes situated amidst the natural charm of Upstate New york city. Included jobs vary from the historical homes of Thomas Cole and Frederic Church– essential landscape painters of the Hudson River School– to the characterful houses of regional artists, designers, authors, museum managers, dancers, professional photographers, antiquarians, and more.
Abranowicz opens the book with the house of popular designer Alan Wanzenberg, a pal and coworker, and his partner, landscape designer Peter Kelly.
Join us for a trip:

Above: “After years invested studying the home’s topography, views, and nature, Alan developed the 3 cabins around a waterfall,” composes Abranowicz. “I have actually seen the method Alan styles in performance with the landscape to develop a deep connection to motivate a deep connection with the world itself.”
