By Sheldon Cheney

Book Overview

An Art Lovers Guide To The Exposition by Cheney, Shelden is a comprehensive guidebook that explores the art and architecture of the 1900 Paris Exposition. This book provides a detailed account of the various exhibits and pavilions that were showcased at the exposition, including the works of renowned artists such as Monet, Rodin, and Renoir. The author also delves into the history and significance of the exposition, highlighting its impact on the art world and its role in shaping the cultural landscape of the early 20th century. With stunning photographs and insightful commentary, An Art Lovers Guide To The Exposition is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of art and architecture.Considered simply as portrayals of power, these four virile figures are very successful, and they serve well to carry out the sense of immensity and strength that characterizes the entire building. But they are not at all polished or subtle, lacking the refinement that would make them interesting as something besides vigorous types. All four figures are by Haig Patigian. They are repeated in different order on columns before the north and south portals of the building.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
