The photographs and the materials are excellent. <br /><br />Architectural sculptures are so fascinating and so very overlooked and the book is a commendable endeavour in shining spotlight to it. The documentation of figural adornments on numerous buildings that surrounds us makes us much more appreciative of our rich architectural history. I enjoyed going through pictures of sculptures and relief embellishments on walls, columns, pediments, mosaic tiles and even church altars.<br /><br />I quite agree with the presentation "without comment or opinion". These are very personal and frequently change over time. Also I sincerely believe that anyone who goes through this book will "become aware of figural sculptures as an art form that silently surrounds us but often lives unnoticed".<br /><br />However I would like a bit more explanation on different styles, and were they typical of that particular artist or the time period, with cross-reference for similarities or differences. To me these matter, simply because I am no expert on art or architecture, but would like to learn more..<br /><br />Already looking forward to more volumes ..Jyotihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08930301862493132019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5158333479302311098.post-38023979895581583792010-01-29T14:20:34.638-08:002010-01-29T14:20:34.638-08:00These are beautiful pictures!
