Book Synopsis The Detroit Public Library by : Patrice Rafail Merritt
Download or read book The Detroit Public Library written by Patrice Rafail Merritt and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A photographic tour of the Detroit Public Library’s rich art and architectural history. For the last century, the Detroit Public Library has ranked as one of the most beautiful buildings in Detroit—an important landmark as well as a significant monument serving generations of Detroiters.The Detroit Public Library: An American Classic was born out of "Discover the Wonders," an art and architectural tour of the main library that began in December 2013. Since the tour's inception, around seven thousand people have visited this structural gem. The Detroit Public Library was the result of numerous requests for a book that showcases the library's many artistic and architectural wonders. As the photographs in this book reveal, the Detroit Public Library stands as an enduring symbol of the public library, one of the most democratic institutions in America. The design of the Detroit Public Library was Cass Gilbert's vision for Detroit's Early Italian Renaissance-style library. This book honors his work with a chronological and photographic timeline of the conception and building of the 1921 Woodward Avenue Library, the 1963 Cass Avenue addition, and the library as it is today. The book goes through the library's transformative years, documenting the contributions of local and national artists such as Mary Chase Perry Stratton, Gari Melchers, and John Stephens Coppin, and includes photographs of the rooms they have decorated with murals, mosaics, painted windows, bronze works, architectural elements, and ornamentation. In preparing The Detroit Public Library, the authors had two fundamental desires, as they note in their preface. The first was to celebrate the main library's design using both historic and contemporary images, the latter contributed by a number of photographers presently working in Detroit. The second was "to share with the world the beauty and elegance of a grand building in a great city that, even through the most difficult times, has sustained one of the most magnificent neo-classical buildings in the country." The Detroit Public Library unites the interests of history buffs, art enthusiasts, library lovers, and Detroit-area locals with a tribute to one of the city's most impressive structures. This book will appeal to those looking to learn about the builders, the history, and the stories that brought the Detroit Public Library to fruition.
Download or read book Cyril Colnik written by Alan J. Strekow and published by Friends of Villa Terrace. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master metalsmith Cyril Colnik (1871-1958) was an Austrian-born artist who parlayed a gold medal at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago into a sixty-year career creating marvelously intricate gates, balustrades, chandeliers, grilles, architectural ornaments, and other decor for public buildings and the mansions of the wealthy in the "German Athens" of America--Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Legend has it that beer baron Captain Frederick Pabst convinced Colnik to come to Milwaukee, pointing to the commissions the talented craftsman could get from wealthy industrialists and merchants. Colnik's artistry and technical mastery transformed metal into works of beauty and permanence for clients including Pabst, Charles Allis of Allis-Chalmers Inc., Herman Uihlein of Schlitz Brewing Co., Lloyd Smith of the A. O. Smith Corporation, and many others. Colnik's creations in iron, brass, and bronze can still be seen at the Pabst Mansion house museum, Milwaukee's City Hall, Mader's Restaurant, Wisconsin Memorial Park, and in many other older buildings around the city. The largest collection is in Milwaukee's Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum (formerly the mansion of the Smith family), where visitors can see both the wrought metalwork that Colnik created for the Smith home and a permanent exhibition of objects, photographs, and archival material by and about Colnik. The exhibition includes the tools of a blacksmith shop, complete with forge and anvil. Cyril Colnik, Man of Iron is the first book to document this metalsmith's masterworks. It includes a biographical essay on Colnik and chapters that showcase the riches of the Villa Terrace's Colnik collection and archives: photos of architectural features and collected objects at the Villa Terrace; examples of Colnik's sketches, blueprints, and photographs; a trove of photos from Colnik's personal collection that documented his work in now-unidentified homes and churches; and interior and exterior photographs of identifiable Milwaukee homes, businesses, and public buildings taken by Colnik, author Alan J. Strekow, and others. The book also includes an essay by present-day artisanal ironworker Daniel Nauman, a glossary of blacksmithing terms, a chronology of Colnik's life and achievements, and a bibliography.
