American Gargoyles: Spirits in Stone（中图特价艺术书） pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

　　American Gargoyles: Spirits in Stone is the

first pictorial essay on the many gargoyles found in the United

States, featuring unique stories and breathtaking full-color

photographs of these monstrous but delightful angels with a sense

of humor. A number of books have showcased the medieval gargoyles

of Europe, but never before has one been devoted to the thousands

of gargoyles that peer down from American buildings. Lewd or

ferocious, holy or humorous, these astonishing carvings are

distinguished by fine artistry, vivid imagination, and spiritual

mystery.

American Gargoyles puts us face-to-face with the winged

griffins, fallen angels, and damned souls of Washington's National

Cathedral, as well as those adorning the Woolworth Building and the

Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, Princeton

University, the University of Pennsylvania, Tribune Tower in

Chicago, Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, and many other

buildings. Robert Llewellyn's glorious photographs reveal the

craftsmanship of the artisans and sculptors who created these

works.

With Darlene Trew Crist's fascinating explanations of the

varieties of gargoyles, stories about their history and creation,

and extensive resource information, including websites, American

Gargoyles makes a convincing case for looking up as we walk

down the streets of America's cities.
