Product Description

Synopsis

A number of books have showcased the medieval gargoyles of Europe, but never before has one been devoted to the thousands of gargoyles that peer down from American buildings. Lewd or ferocious, holy or humorous, these astonishing carvings are distinguished by fine artistry, vivid imagination and spiritual mystery. American Gargoyles puts us face-to-face with the winged griffins, fallen angels and damned souls of Washington's National Cathedral, as well as those adorning the Woolworth Building and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, Grace Cathedral in San Francisco and other buildings. With fascinating information about the varieties of gargoyles, the stories behind their creation and the messages they were meant to convey, American Gargoyles makes a convincing case for looking up as we walk down the streets of America's cities.
