ReviewsAuthors Catherine Coleman Brawer and Kathleen Murphy Skolnik have produced the definitive book on Meière and the depth of their archival research is evident. They provide a wealth of scholarly documentation of her career, creative processes, and working methods with corresponding notes, index, and an appendix with a chronological list of commissions. The book is lavishly illustrated with documentary photographs and luscious new photography of Meière's work provided by Meière's granddaughter Hildreth Meière Dunn. In addition, Richard Guy Wilson, the renowned architectural historian from University of Virginia has contributed the foreword. The title is essential for decorative arts or art and architectural libraries and appropriate for any comprehensive art reference collection or general library.

Directly promoting the extremely popular Art Deco movement in America including the architectural history and decoration, women artists, world's fairs, American mural painting, twentieth-century mosaics and ceramics, the Byzantine revival in America, and American liturgical art. Large-scale color photographs (created over more than 10 years by the artist's granddaughter, Hildreth Mei re Dunn) capture these exquisite works in detail An unsung heroine of Art Deco art and architecture, Hildreth Mei re is the artist behind many of the most spectacular mural installations of the mid-20th century. The vibrant, dynamic roundels on the exterior of Radio City Music Hall, the shimmering glass mosaics and stained glass windows at St. Bartholomew's Church, and the exceptional decoration at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis - all are the work of Mei re. Mei re is particularly known for her personal interpretation of Art Deco, which incorporates Byzantine, classical Greek, and Native American influences. Mei re rose to prominence in the 1920s with two commissions from pioneering architect Bertram Goodhue: the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., and the Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln. Her 100 religious, corporate, and cultural commissions are equally noteworthy.

A legandary artist.
Hildreth was an amazing artist. If you like murals, you'll love her work. If you don't already know her work. Artists like her are now a part of history, sad to say.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
