A Valuable Resource

Any artist, critic, historian, or art lover will appreciate this book. It unveils the personal development of a great artist, along with the delicate process of creating art for public spaces. We see how John Raimondi must think like a craftsman, architect, and politician in the planning and installation of his monumental sculptures. We also see how a sensitive, brave, and enterprising character is able to enliven the world with his masterful work. The essays within the book complement each other: one describes the formal aspects of Raimondi's protean stylistic progression; the other documents how Raimondi's background and education have influenced his 33 years of monumental sculpture. And if you just want to admire the pictures, then you are sure to enjoy the lavish color plates.
