Produktbeschreibung
Just as a sculptor chips away each piece of stone to uncover a work of art, author Greg Harm has been chipping away at Lee Lawrie's catalog raisonne for the past two decades, going where no art scholar has gone before. From the Atlas in Rockefeller Center to the WWI Memorial in Pasadena, California, the humble "Dean of American Architectural Sculptors" has created countless unsigned works. This fourth edition, called the Nebraska Statehood's 150th Anniversary edition, of Lee Lawrie's Prairie Deco: History in Stone at the Nebraska State Capitol holds the most recent discoveries of Lawrie's works as well as breathtaking pictures of his largest commission where Art Deco meets the prairie and in which Democracy is illustrated- the Nebraska State Capitol.

Autorenporträt
Greg Harm was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska, and lived there until he graduated from college at age thirty-eight and moved to Austin, Texas. Harm holds a Bachelor's in Political Science from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a Master's in Legal Studies and Administration from Texas State University. He has been a lifelong lover of art, music, history, and politics. He lives and works in Austin, Texas. He has finished writing and illustrating his second book, Passing Torches: Lee Lawrie's Art Deco Sculpture at the Los Angeles Public Library, presently in production. The Library was created by the same crew who worked on the Nebraska State Capitol: designed by Architect Goodhue and adorned with Lawrie's mystical sculpture, as programmed by Hartley Burr Alexander. Alexander designed it to be a temple of learning and knowledge. Harm has also begun working on his third book, Oblivion: The Forgotten Sculptural Legacy of America's Machine Age Michelangelo, which delves further into the art and life of Lee Lawrie across America. The book will be an encyclopedia, sharing nearly two decades of study on America's most obscure and never recognized genius.
