More Is More, the exquisite second volume about Tony
Duquette, delves into the creative process and personal life
of this great American designer renowned for his fantastical
artwork, sculpture, jewelry, gardens, film sets, and
interiors. Using "The Enchanted Vision"--a three-day lecture
delivered by Duquette at UCLA in the early 1970s--as its
springboard, More Is More conveys through lavish
illustrations Duquette's artistic credo on the arts of
living and the living arts. Author Hutton Wilkinson explains
Duquette's design philosophy, creative process, and studio
practices, as well as the evolution of his exceptional style
and vision.While Duquette's own work receives full
attention, an entire chapter is devoted to the artwork and
persona of his wife, Elizabeth "Beegle". This personal
dimension is further enhanced by countless anecdotes about
the fabulous life they led together: their international
travels, active social lives among royalty and the jet-set,
their many dinner parties and gatherings, their homes and
studios.The final chapter reveals that Duquette's legacy is
alive and well as Wilkinson continues to develop the
Duquette style and expand the brand across the globe.
