Stained Glass in Catholic Philadelphia

Pages : 538
Book Description
"Stained Glass in Catholic Philadelphia tells the remarkable story of the thousands of stained-glass windows - made in America, England, France, and Germany - in the more than 400 churches, chapels, and institutions of the five-county Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Since 1997 more than 450 sites have been visited to document the archdiocese's windows by photographing them. This process resulted in the creation of a photo archive of over 50,000 images. Using this archive as a foundation, a team of scholars - from a variety of institutions and with specialties in medieval studies, architectural and social history, Christian iconography, decorative and liturgical arts, the craft, creative reuse, and historic preservation of stained glass - was assembled to study these windows. The result is this profusely illustrated book of original research that makes accessible a significant and highly visible, but neglected, aspect of our ecclesial, national, and regional cultural heritage."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
"Each of Ed Carpenter's installations is an emotional intervention into the architecture, intrinsic to the space while also an artistic overlay. His art re-interprets the space, creating sub-texts and spatial complexity, using varieties of scale, color, light, material and depth to articulate his response to each place. Working in glass, aluminium, stainless steel, cables and computer-controlled lighting, his vocabulary blends seamlessly into the language of architecture. Each piece seems to grow from its place, reach for the light, and breath its own life. The imagery evoked is simultaneously technological and biological, engineered and expressive. This book presents the portion of Carpenter's work which is specifically concerned with light and architectural sculpture, leaving for another effort a number of projects, such as bridges and urban sculptures, which have other primary concerns."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Stained glass is a monumental art, a corporate enterprise dependent on a patron with whom artists blend their voices. Combining the fields now labeled decorative arts, architecture, and painting, the window transforms our experience of space. Windows of colored glass were essential features of medieval and Renaissance buildings. They provided not only light to illuminate the interior but also specific and permanent imagery that proclaimed the importance of place. Commissioned by monks, nuns, bishops, and kings, as well as by merchants, prosperous farmers, and a host of anonymous patrons, these windows vividly reflect the social, religious, civic, and aesthetic values of their eras. Beautifully illustrated with reproductions from the remarkable stained glass collection at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Stained Glass addresses the making of a stained glass window, its iconography and architectural context, the patrons and collectors, and the challenges of restoration and display. The selected works include examples from Austria, Belgium, England, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Subject matter ranges from monumental religious scenes for Gothic churches to lively heraldic panels made for houses and other secular settings. Integrating comparisons to works of art in other media, such as manuscripts, drawings, and panel paintings, this book encourages the general reader to see stained glass as an element of a broad artistic production.
