Description
Frederick Law Olmsted (1822 - 1903) is considered the father of landscape architecture in the United States and created several renowned urban parks and park systems across the country. With a stunning black and white series of trees by Stanley Greenberg, dating to the beginnings of these parks, Olmsted Trees (Bilingual edition) offers an intimate encounter with Olmsted, his motifs, and heritage.
Central Park in New York, the Emerald Necklace in Boston, and park systems in Chicago, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Rochester, and Louisville—trees have been essential elements of all of Olmsted's park designs. New York-based photographer Stanley Greenberg pays tribute to them with his portrait series of these beautiful and dignified giants. Three essays by renowned experts on history, sociology, and landscape architecture complement the narrative and present an interdisciplinary vision on Olmsted's achievement.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Olmsted Trees is praised for its striking photography that reveals the intricate textures and character of each tree, described by The New York Times as presenting bark like 'barnacles, lizard skin or cooled lava'. The images highlight the trees' resilience and timeless presence, dwarfing human interventions and bearing witness to the history embedded in the parks.
