	BECKER, HEATHER Art for the People: The Rediscovery and Preservation of Progressive- and WPA-Era Murals in the Chicago Public Schools, 1904-1943 San Francisco, CA, Chronicle Books. 2002, First paperback edition.

No priority/air, except by special arrangement."Rediscovered a few years ago in woeful disrepair by a dedicated high school teacher, the murals of Chicago’s public schools had long been painted over, torn down, forgotten. Dating back almost a century, these extraordinary murals, painted by celebrated artists such as Edgar Britton, Mitchell Siporin, Lucille Ward, and Edward Millman, were created during the Progressive (1904-1933) and New Deal (1933-1943) eras. Art for the People tells the inspiring story of their preservation: a project that brought conservators, historians, politicians, educators, and students together in a united cause, and that brought nearly 450 murals to light across nearly 70 schools-making this the largest mural preservation project in the U.S. as well as the largest concentration of historical murals in the country. Hundreds of color photos capture the dazzling array of murals and the restoration process. A complete reference and a finely produced record of a neglected treasure, Art for the People is a dramatic demonstration of the power of human hands working together not just to create art, but also to save it. / Heather Becker is vice-president of the Chicago Conservation Center. She lives in Chicago." - Publisher. NEW. USD 60.00 [Appr.: EURO 40.5 \| £UK 36 \| JP¥ 5335] Book number: 012456 Click here to order or inquire at Left Coast Books.

"Arguably America's best-known architect, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is famed for his sleek, rational designs of houses and buildings nestled in natural surroundings. Across the United States, Wright's works embody the precept of Organic Architecture, that a project must be constructed in response to the site's landscape, with respect for the client's needs, and with awareness of local materials. Throughout her career, painter Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) created breathtaking works of intimacy, simplicity, and precision, inspired by observations both of the urban environment of New York City and the stark landscapes of the American Southwest. Both Wright and O'Keeffe applied a respect and understanding of nature to their work. Studied together, these creators' works bring new insight into how the organic influences the artistic. / Llorenç Bonet has contributed to various magazines, publications, and exhibitions on art and architecture. He lives in Barcelona, Spain." - Publisher. Fine/Fine. USD 25.00 [Appr.: EURO 17 \| £UK 15 \| JP¥ 2223] Book number: 007575 Click here to order or inquire at Left Coast Books.

	BECKER, HEATHER Art for the People: The Rediscovery and Preservation of Progressive- and WPA-Era Murals in the Chicago Public Schools, 1904-1943 San Francisco, CA, Chronicle Books. 2002, First paperback edition. (ISBN: 0811835790) Soft Cover , 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Collectible, 248 pp. illus. (chiefly col.), biblio. index; 32 cm. BRAND NEW. Small remainder mark/tail edge. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement."Rediscovered a few years ago in woeful disrepair by a dedicated high school teacher, the murals of Chicago’s public schools had long been painted over, torn down, forgotten. Dating back almost a century, these extraordinary murals, painted by celebrated artists such as Edgar Britton, Mitchell Siporin, Lucille Ward, and Edward Millman, were created during the Progressive (1904-1933) and New Deal (1933-1943) eras. Art for the People tells the inspiring story of their preservation: a project that brought conservators, historians, politicians, educators, and students together in a united cause, and that brought nearly 450 murals to light across nearly 70 schools-making this the largest mural preservation project in the U.S. as well as the largest concentration of historical murals in the country. Hundreds of color photos capture the dazzling array of murals and the restoration process. A complete reference and a finely produced record of a neglected treasure, Art for the People is a dramatic demonstration of the power of human hands working together not just to create art, but also to save it. / Heather Becker is vice-president of the Chicago Conservation Center. She lives in Chicago." - Publisher. NEW. USD 60.00 [Appr.: EURO 40.5 \| £UK 36 \| JP¥ 5335] Book number: 012456 Click here to order or inquire at Left Coast Books.

"Arguably America's best-known architect, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is famed for his sleek, rational designs of houses and buildings nestled in natural surroundings. Across the United States, Wright's works embody the precept of Organic Architecture, that a project must be constructed in response to the site's landscape, with respect for the client's needs, and with awareness of local materials. Throughout her career, painter Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) created breathtaking works of intimacy, simplicity, and precision, inspired by observations both of the urban environment of New York City and the stark landscapes of the American Southwest. Both Wright and O'Keeffe applied a respect and understanding of nature to their work. Studied together, these creators' works bring new insight into how the organic influences the artistic. / Llorenç Bonet has contributed to various magazines, publications, and exhibitions on art and architecture. He lives in Barcelona, Spain." - Publisher. Fine/Fine. USD 25.00 [Appr.: EURO 17 \| £UK 15 \| JP¥ 2223] Book number: 007575 Click here to order or inquire at Left Coast Books.
