Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring Oklahoma through paintings and sculpture, Art of the Oklahoma State Capitol examines the history of the state from the Indian Territory period through the twentieth century and beyond. Focusing on the art collected by Senator Charles Ford and sponsored by the Oklahoma State Senate Historical Preservation Fund, it reveals--through the vision of talented artists from around the state--the personalities of those who have shaped Oklahoma's past and present. Art of the Oklahoma State Capitol is divided into five sections, each detailing different aspects of the Oklahoma experience. The first section, "Oklahoma's People," features portraits of the famous as well as the ordinary men and women who challenged themselves and those around them to improve life for the citizens of the state and of the nation. The next section, "Oklahoma's Beauty," examines the state's ever-changing landscape, from the Tall Grass Prairie to the flatland of the Panhandle. The section "Living History" presents paintings of historical scenes, both international and local. Sections on bronze sculpture and nineteenth-century lithographs by McKenny and Hall round out the book and demonstrate the depth of the Senate Collection. Senator Ford has personally selected each work of art in this unique collection. Showcasing works by Charles Banks Wilson, Mike Wimmer, Linda Tuma Roberston, and many others, this book highlights some of the more prominent contemporary artists working in Oklahoma.

Download or read book The Oklahoma State Capitol written by Trait Thompson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the Oklahoma State Capitol is as wild and unpredictable as the story of Oklahoma itself. The on-again, off-again effort to construct the statehouse lasted five years as Oklahoma City and Guthrie jockeyed back and forth, each laying claim to the capital city. Finally, seven years after statehood, ground was broken on the capitol. Oklahoma's third governor, Robert Williams, seeking to keep costs low, put himself in charge of the Oklahoma State Capitol Building Commission and made the following controversial decision that would be debated for decades afterwards: he would forgo the structure's planned ornamental dome. It would not be added until 85 years later. Dome or no dome, the capitol has served as the People's House, a place for Oklahomans to let their voices be heard throughout the generations.

Book excerpt: "Public art can draw visitors to a city from all over the world bringing valuable tourist dollars. The cost of commissioning public art can reach into the millions of dollars. Public art can define how a community sees itself and uses its public spaces. A strong argument can be made that Tulsa is not making the best use of the public art the city currently has and nor does the city have a well defined framework for the use and location of future projects or donations of art. This is in large part because of the lack of a Master Plan for Public Art. This project has been designed to provide the direction and framework for public art that will create public spaces the city can be proud of. This project will focus on the practice of public art planning predominately in the United States, in order to determine the components necessary to creating an effective Public Art Master Plan for Tulsa. The results of this study will be used to gain an understanding of what impact public art can have on the city of Tulsa, so that we can create better public spaces."--Page 1.
