Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Among many books about the person and work of Louis Sullivan, this unusual volume explores the idea that Sullivan's ornament became increasingly central to his architectural enterprise as his career unfolded. It holds that he used ornament to articulate the masses of the skyscrapers he built at the peak of his career and to humanize them in an increasingly hostile cityscape. In his impoverished old age, when important commissions no longer came to him, fully developed and exquisite pencil drawings of ornament served as a surrogate for the great projects he was no longer able to carry out. Cervin Robinson's beautiful photographs of Sullivan's work, supplemented by historical photographs of buildings no longer standing and reproductions of plates from Sullivan's crowning achievement, his book of drawings System of Architectural Ornament, illustrate the text by art historian David Van Zanten. An interpretive essay about a much-admired genius of American architecture, with an emphasis on the meaning of ornament in his work and life Open copy with light wear, clean pages, tight binding, book is wrapped in complimentary Brodart protector.…

Ships in a box, quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: Commemorating the centennial of the Layton Art Gallery, 1888: Frederick Layton and His World documents the historical formation of one of the Upper Midwest's early civic art collections. Organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum, the exhibition monograph explores the patronage of British-American industrialist Frederick Layton, who constructed and endowed Milwaukee's first dedicated public art museum. Scholarly essays examine the cultural landscape of late Victorian America, tracing how industrial wealth shaped public museum access, connoisseurship and civic identity in the post-Civil War era. Fine art plates reproduce American Realist, British Academic and European Barbizon works, with color reproductions, black-and-white plates, decorative arts photography and architectural drawings. Presswork is by Burton and Mayer of Milwaukee. Archival floor plans and structural elevations illustrate George Ashdown Audsley's original gallery building, giving a multi-disciplinary visual record of Gilded Age design. Frederick Layton assembled his collection during a transformative epoch in American museum history, acquiring paintings by James Tissot, George Inness, Thomas Eakins, Eastman Johnson, Winslow Homer and Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Curators James Mundy, Lillian B. Miller, Kenneth Ames and David Van Zanten provide provenance records, exhibition histories and critical essays placing Layton's acquisitions within nineteenth-century artistic movements.…
