  • The Architecture of Mark Lemmon
    Crafting Traditions: The Architecture of Mark Lemmon (Hardback) < Kindle \\ CORVNRA1IR Crafting Traditions: Th e A rch itecture of Mark Lemmon (Hardback) By - Southern Methodist University Press,U.S., United States, 2005. Hardback. Condition: New. New.. Language: English . Brand New Book. This is the first work to document the life and career of Dallas architect Mark Lemmon, a pre-eminent American historicist. It is an illustrated testament to Lemmon s ideas of architectural civility, solidity, and classicism - considered retrograde by many architectural historians, though taking on a renewed relevance after the post-modernist revisionism of the 1970s. Having completed his architectural education at MIT and a tour of duty as a military engineer in Europe during World War I, Lemmon, a Texas native, moved to Dallas and began a distinguished career spanning forty years from the 1920s to the 1960s. Lemmon s greatest contributions to Texas architecture were his designs for educational and religious institutions. His most important clients were the Dallas Independent School District, Southern Methodist University (for which he designed eighteen Georgian style buildings), the Port Arthur School District, and the University of Texas at Austin. In styles that vary from Romanesque to Moderne, these buildings define their neighborhoods and place their users in a system of civilized architectural allusions that raises the level of urban culture. Few Texas architects matched the range... READ ONLINE [ 5.42 MB ] Reviews This book may be worth purchasing. It typically fails to expense excessive.

  • Joaquín Sorolla Oil Sketch Acquired by Meadows Museum
    March 18, 2013 JOAQUÍN SOROLLA OIL SKETCH ACQUIRED BY MEADOWS MUSEUM DALLAS (SMU) – Valencia Beach (1904 or 1905), an important oil sketch by early 20th-century Spanish artist Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (1863-1923), has been acquired by the Meadows Museum at SMU through a gift from Mark L. Lemmon, his wife Barbara Thomas Lemmon, and her son Michael L. Thomas. The gift was made in honor of P. Gregory Warden, former faculty member of SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts. Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida is one of the most significant Spanish artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. An accomplished painter of portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes of his native land, the artist is best known for his sun-filled beach scenes that take as their subject matter the play of light on various forms. Sorolla is especially well regarded for his adept ability to paint en plein air and to work quickly and depict meticulous detail in order to create an effect specific to each subject. His influence can be seen in the work of many artists represented in the Meadows Museum collection, such as Aureliano de Beruete (1845-1912) or Eugenio Hermoso Martínez (1883-1963). “The painterly, spontaneous quality of Valencia Beach makes it among the finest of Sorolla’s works,” said Meadows Museum Director Mark A. Roglán. “It is the artist’s first small-scale work on panel to enter the Meadows holdings, which will make it possible for us to better present the full breadth and complexity of this acclaimed artist.” “We had discussed with Meadows School of the Arts Dean José Bowen and Mark Roglán our desire to honor Greg Warden in some fashion,” said Mark Lemmon.
