About This Book

A descriptive guide catalogs and interprets the sculpture created for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, offering close studies of fountains, figure groups, panels and architectural ornament and brief biographies of the artists. The foreword emphasizes individualism, technical rigor and the integration of sculpture with architecture, while the main entries vividly describe major ensemble works, their subjects and placement within the grounds. The volume pairs visual description with interpretive remarks about theme and effect and urges that several sculptures be made permanent to enrich the cityscape and public appreciation of the art.
