简介


  American Gargoyles: Spirits in Stone is thefirst pictorial essay on the many gargoyles found in the UnitedStates, featuring unique stories and breathtaking full-colorphotographs of these monstrous but delightful angels with a senseof humor. A number of books have showcased the medieval gargoylesof Europe, but never before has one been devoted to the thousandsof gargoyles that peer down from American buildings. Lewd orferocious, holy or humorous, these astonishing carvings aredistinguished by fine artistry, vivid imagination, and spiritualmystery.
  American Gargoyles puts us face-to-face with the wingedgriffins, fallen angels, and damned souls of Washington's NationalCathedral, as well as those adorning the Woolworth Building and theCathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, PrincetonUniversity, the University of Pennsylvania, Tribune Tower inChicago, Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, and many otherbuildings. Robert Llewellyn's glorious photographs reveal thecraftsmanship of the artisans and sculptors who created theseworks.
  With Darlene Trew Crist's fascinating explanations of thevarieties of gargoyles, stories about their history and creation,and extensive resource information, including websites, AmericanGargoyles makes a convincing case for looking up as we walkdown the streets of America's cities.
