Description
Cass Gilbert rediscovered—his signature works, their sources (artistic, cultural, economic), their influence throughout the arts and public life. This collection of nineteen essays examines the buildings of Gilbert's national practice, evaluates his Minnesota State Capitol as "a defining moment" in civic architecture, and discusses his New York career, his response to civic ideals in his plans for towns and universities, and his work in the public domain.
