Description

Chicago architect Louis Sullivan provided philosophical impetus, formulated compositional principles and established ornamental models that inspired the Sullivanesque. The Sullivanesque (1890-1930) ranged from the "high art" of Sullivan to a commercial vernacular espoused by builder architects. Sophisticated or primitive, collectively, it was a rare creative flourish in American architecture. The Sullivanesque was explored in-depth in my book, SULLIVANESQUE: URBAN ARCHITECTURE & ORNAMENTATION (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2002). The intent of this new book is to: 1) include new and many more color illustrations, 2) update and expand the Inventory of Sullivanesque Buildings, which was an Appendix in the 2002 book; and, 3) summarize highlights of the Sullivanesque Movement. This new publication does not supplant but supplements the original 2002 book. Since the 2002 Inventory of Sullivanesque Buildings, an alarming number have been demolished. This distinctly American kind of architecture is becoming more difficult to find. The inventory and photographs thoroughly record known Sullivanesque buildings, both extant and lost. This is a 8" x 10" book with 166 pages and 574 color photographs by the author. In addition, there are 21 historical photographs predating 1924. This new book is a concise but thorough documentation of Sullivanesque Architecture.
