Civic art : a centennial history of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts / edited by Thomas E. Luebke. Washington, District of Columbia : U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, 2013. Subjects United States.

As design philosophies and styles changed over the century, the commission also shifted its emphasis from Beaux-Arts architecture and planning principles to the modernist pragmatism of midcentury, the urban redevelopment and historicist trends of the late twentieth century, and to the contemporary era characterized by issues of security, sustainability, and information technology. Organized chronologically by the periods of the commission's leadership, this illustrated book includes original essays by William B. Bushong, Arleyn Levee, Zachary Schrag, Pamela Scott, Carroll William Westfall, and Richard Guy Wilson. Civic Art: A Centennial History of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts provides many glimpses of the fractious, inspired, and often messy process that defines democracy in action in Washington, as revealed in the work of the commission since 1910."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library R -- Federal Documents 725.1 Ci Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList
