 Preservation Online: July/August 2006 Magazine Archives: Books
Jeffrey T. Tilman's Arthur Brown Jr., Progressive Classicist (W.W. Norton, $60, 272 pages) traces Brown's education, his partnership with John Bakewell Jr., which lasted from 1905 to 1927, and his later work on the Federal Triangle in Washington, D.C. (the Department of Labor and Interstate Commerce Commission buildings) and for Stanford University.
Like Whitney Warren, Brown studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and the San Francisco City Hall is an exuberant example of its teachings.
Tilman makes the case that the classical tradition was at the root of even Brown's most modern work: Brown understood that classicism must evolve to meet the demands of modern life.
