Summary "An Art-Lover's Guide to the Exposition" by Sheldon Cheney is an art guidebook written in the early 20th century. This volume is designed to provide readers with an understanding and appreciation of the architectural and artistic features of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which celebrated the completion of the Panama Canal. The book delves into the symbolism behind the architecture, sculpture, and mural paintings, aiming to enrich the experience of visitors to the Exposition by revealing the deeper meanings and artistic intentions of the works displayed. The opening of the book presents a foreword that sets the stage for the reader's journey through the various artistic elements of the Exposition. Cheney introduces the overall theme of "achievement," reflecting the spirit of progress and triumph evident in the architectural designs and sculptures. He emphasizes the harmony among the various artistic components, promoting an appreciation for the coordination among architects, sculptors, and painters involved in the Exposition. The reader is invited to explore individual sections detailing notable exhibits, architectural styles, and significant sculptures, all framed within the context of American cultural and artistic evolution during this period.
