Download or read book Bruce Goff written by Arn Henderson and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned today as one of the most important architects of the twentieth century, Bruce Goff (1904–1982) was only twelve years old when a Tulsa architectural firm took him on as an apprentice. Throughout his career he defied expectations, not only as a designer of innovative buildings but also as a gifted educator and painter. This beautifully illustrated volume, featuring more than 150 photographs, architectural drawings, and color plates, explores the vast multitude of ideas and themes that influenced Goff’s work. Tracing what he calls Goff’s “path of originality,” Arn Henderson begins by describing two of Goff’s earliest and most significant influences: the architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the French composer Claude Debussy. As Henderson explains, Goff embraced from a young age Wright’s ideal of organic expression, where all elements of a building’s design are integrated into a unified whole. Although Goff’s stylistic dependence on Wright eventually waned, the music of Debussy, with its qualities of mystery and “discipline in freedom,” was a perpetual source of inspiration. Henderson also emphasizes Goff’s identification with the American West, particularly Oklahoma, where he developed most of his ideas and created many of his masterful buildings. Goff served as a professor at the University of Oklahoma between 1947 and 1955, becoming the first chair of its School of Architecture. The new studio course he introduced was a pivotal development, ensuring that his ideas were imparted to the next generation of architects. Part biography of a well-known architect, part analysis of Goff’s work, this book is also a finely woven tapestry of information and interpretation that encompasses the ideas and experiences that shaped Goff’s artistic vision over his lifetime. Based on scores of interviews with Goff’s associates and former students, as well as the author’s firsthand study of Goff’s extant buildings, this volume deepens our appreciation of the great architect’s lasting legacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary histories, of course, do not have a reason for being unless there exists the literature itself. This volume, perhaps more than others of its kind, is an expression of appreciation for the talented and dedicated literary artists who ignored the odds, avoided temptations to write for popularity or prestige, and chose to write honestly about the American West, believing that experiences long knowns to be of historical importance are also experiences that need and deserve a literature of importance.

Book excerpt: Bone Yard, the first section of this collection of poems by Jim Barnes, speaks heavily of the past - fictional and historical. A bone yard is a place where bleached relics speak to those who have an attuned ear. The richness of place - landscape, weather, individuals - together with the speaker's own particular use of language grabs hold of our memory, of our sense of loss, and we are there. Dog Days, the second section, through its title, suggests a stagnation, heavy days when there is little movement of body and soul. Many of the poems bear this out. But the stagnation is not total, only periodic. The extreme joy that ends "Dirge," for example, speaks far beyond the despair that is felt by the persona through most of the poem. Memory of the past, knowledge of what has been, affirmation of the loss - these stand as tangibles with which the persona would shore himself against the threatening waves of extinction. Significantly, he says in "Heartland," with a slight nod to Robert Frost, "there is something that will not let / a space be given solely to grass. / The aura holds . . ."
