| Summary | "The Sculpture and Mural Decorations of the Exposition" by Stella G. S. Perry is a pictorial survey of the artistic works featured at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, written in the early 20th century. This detailed treatise explores various sculptures and mural decorations throughout the exposition, reflecting on their significance and artistic merit. The narrative encapsulates the vitality and innovation within American art, showcasing the collaborative efforts of forty-four sculptors who contributed to the visual landscape of this historic event. The opening of the book sets the stage by acknowledging the universal human urge to create art, which is expressed through the works displayed at the exposition. It highlights the symbiotic relationship between artists and architects as they share a collective vision for integrating art into urban spaces. Perry also notes the range of artistic influences present, including echoes of classic European styles. The introduction serves as a tribute to the artist Karl Bitter, emphasizing the spirit of collaboration and celebration embodied in the exposition’s numerous artistic works. It invites readers to appreciate how these sculptures encapsulate broader themes of life, progress, and the American spirit, foreshadowing deeper discussions of individual pieces throughout the text.
