Download or read book Cyril Colnik written by Alan J. Strekow and published by Friends of Villa Terrace. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master metalsmith Cyril Colnik (1871-1958) was an Austrian-born artist who parlayed a gold medal at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago into a sixty-year career creating marvelously intricate gates, balustrades, chandeliers, grilles, architectural ornaments, and other decor for public buildings and the mansions of the wealthy in the "German Athens" of America--Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Legend has it that beer baron Captain Frederick Pabst convinced Colnik to come to Milwaukee, pointing to the commissions the talented craftsman could get from wealthy industrialists and merchants. Colnik's artistry and technical mastery transformed metal into works of beauty and permanence for clients including Pabst, Charles Allis of Allis-Chalmers Inc., Herman Uihlein of Schlitz Brewing Co., Lloyd Smith of the A. O. Smith Corporation, and many others. Colnik's creations in iron, brass, and bronze can still be seen at the Pabst Mansion house museum, Milwaukee's City Hall, Mader's Restaurant, Wisconsin Memorial Park, and in many other older buildings around the city. The largest collection is in Milwaukee's Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum (formerly the mansion of the Smith family), where visitors can see both the wrought metalwork that Colnik created for the Smith home and a permanent exhibition of objects, photographs, and archival material by and about Colnik. The exhibition includes the tools of a blacksmith shop, complete with forge and anvil. Cyril Colnik, Man of Iron is the first book to document this metalsmith's masterworks. It includes a biographical essay on Colnik and chapters that showcase the riches of the Villa Terrace's Colnik collection and archives: photos of architectural features and collected objects at the Villa Terrace; examples of Colnik's sketches, blueprints, and photographs; a trove of photos from Colnik's personal collection that documented his work in now-unidentified homes and churches; and interior and exterior photographs of identifiable Milwaukee homes, businesses, and public buildings taken by Colnik, author Alan J. Strekow, and others. The book also includes an essay by present-day artisanal ironworker Daniel Nauman, a glossary of blacksmithing terms, a chronology of Colnik's life and achievements, and a bibliography.

Book excerpt: The collection of wrought iron objects in Rouen's Musée Le Secq des Tournelles is the most important holding of this material in the world. Assembled in the 19th century by Jean-Louis-Henri Le Secq Destournelles (1818-1882), the celebrated photographer of French architectural monuments, and his son Henri (1854-1925), it was shown to great acclaim in Paris at the Exposition Universelle in 1900. The collection encompasses a wide variety of functional and decorative objects--door knockers, garden implements, jewelry, keyhole escutcheons, locks and keys, bas reliefs, signs, strongboxes, surgical tools, prostheses, lamps, kitchen equipment, grilles, decorative plaques, among others. These range in date from the Mid¬dle Ages to the early 20th century. They show the versatility of iron as a material, conveying both masculine heft and an impossibly fragile delicacy that is hard to square with the metal's industrial image.The Le Secq collection served as an inspiration for Dr. Albert C. Barnes (1972-1951). He is known to have seen its holdings in the deconsecrated church of Saint-Laurent, former home of the younger Le Secq, where the collection was displayed, as it still is, in distinctive wall arrangements and custom-made vitrines. Starting in 1936, Barnes began to collect examples of European and American wrought iron, and these form one of the Barnes Foundation's most intriguing collections. Over time, Barnes incorporated 887 everyday objects into his signature ensembles, or wall arrangements, of old master and modern paintings. Barnes's displays underscored the formal affinities that the metalwork pieces that he collected shared with the "motives and arabesques" in the paintings in his gallery. An essay by Anne-Charlotte Cathelineau on the history of the Rouen collection and one by Richard J. Wattenmaker on Barnes's collecting of metalwork are accompanied by short essays exploring the fabrication, function, and intricate orna¬mentation of approximately 160 masterworks from the Musée Le Secq des Tournelles, Rouen. This publication accompanies an exhibition of 160 wrought iron objects from the Musée Le Secq des Tournelles, Rouen, held at the Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia, September 19, 2015-January 4, 2016.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Artist-Blacksmith's Craft, published in 1935 and My Life as Artist-blacksmith, published in 1941, are the literary legacy of Julius Schramm and offer a strong encouragement for renewal here in the United States just as they did during their day in Germany. This edition contains the text of both books. Schramm's words in The Artist-blacksmith's Craft speak to blacksmiths today with just as much importance as they did when he wrote them, at the age of seventy: Schramm's My Life as Artist-Blacksmith provides us with the philosophy of his craft, sharing the integrity and enthusiasm that he had for his work at the forge. Francis Whitaker has been responsible for getting the Schramm books published; he suggested the books be translated by Robert Ruhloff and be published by SkipJack Press. Whitaker proudly carries on this tradition of blacksmithing gives us the final word on the contributions Julius Schramm: We all took great pains to satisfy the master and in return had our own satisfaction in doing a fine job. A year with Yellin, two years with Schramm, set the pattern for the rest of my life. The pursuit of perfection.
