NO remainder marks. Black and white illustrations. [From jacket flaps] H. H. Richardson (1838-86) left an enduring imprint on American architecture. Well-known examples of his work include the Glessner house (Chicago), the Marshall Field Wholesale Store (Chicago, now demolished), the Allegheny County Courthouse (Pittsburgh), and Trinity Church (Boston). James F. O'Gorman, noted authority on the architect, here provides a critical overview of Richardson's career and achievement. Drawing on new biographical information, O'Gorman begins with a profile of Richardson's personal and professional background. He considers Richardson's major works, according to building types, and their role in shaping urban and rural architecture for a changing society. O'Gorman concludes with a discussion of how Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan viewed Richardson's influence on them. Throughout, the emphasis is on the architect's search for building forms appropriate to the New World. Richardson broke out of the Beaux-Arts mold and skillfully introduced Romanesque architectural elements into nineteenth-century building. O'Gorman argues that Richardson's use of unusually large blocks of stone and his handling of exterior proportions created a new urban scale that could keep pace with rapid post - Civil War expansion. With specific examples, O'Gorman relates Richardson's designs to works of American literature, especially to Emerson's well-documented fascination with American landforms. O'Gorman persuasively defines the role of Richardson in his own time and offers a needed appraisal of his lasting influence. His coherent thesis results in far-reaching insights into architecture as image and building form as an expression of social program. Eloquently written in illustrated with over 80 halftones, H. H. Richardson will delight both specialists and general readers interested in architecture and American studies.
