Sullivanesque offers a visual and historical tour of a unique but often overlooked facet of modern American architecture derived from Louis Sullivan.Highly regarded in architecture for inspiring the Chicago School and the Prairie School, Sullivan was an unwilling instigator of the method of facade composition--later influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, William Gray Purcell, and George G. Elmslie--that came to be known as Sullivanesque. Decorative enhancements with botanical and animal themes, Sullivan's distinctive ornamentation mitigated the hard geometries of the large buildings he designed, coinciding with his "form follows function" aesthetic.Sullivan's designs offered solutions to problems presented by new types and scales of buildings. Widely popular, they were also widely copied, and the style proliferated due to a number of Chicago-based interests, including the Radford Architectural Company and several decorative plaster and terra-cotta companies. Stock replicas of Sullivan's designs manufactured by the Midland Terra Cotta Company and others gave distinction and focus to utilitarian buildings in Chicago's commercial strips and other confined areas, such as the downtown districts of smaller towns. Mass-produced Sullivanesque terra cotta endured as a result of its combined economic and aesthetic appeal, blending the sophistication of high architectural art with the pragmatic functionality of building design.Masterfully framed by the author's photographs of Sullivanesque buildings in Chicago and throughout the Midwest, Ronald E. Schmitt's in-depth exploration of the Sullivanesque tells the story of its evolution from Sullivan's intellectual and aesthetic foundations to its place as a form of commercial vernacular. The book also includes an inventory of Sullivanesque buildings.Honorable Mention recipient of the 2002 PSP Awards for Excellence in Professional/Scholarly Publishing

Chicago architect Louis Sullivan provided philosophical impetus, formulated compositional principles and established ornamental models that inspired the Sullivanesque. The Sullivanesque (1890-1930) ranged from the "high art" of Sullivan to a commercial vernacular espoused by builder architects. Sophisticated or primitive, collectively, it was a rare creative flourish in American architecture. The Sullivanesque was explored in-depth in my book, SULLIVANESQUE: URBAN ARCHITECTURE & ORNAMENTATION (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2002). The intent of this new book is to: 1) include new and many more color illustrations, 2) update and expand the Inventory of Sullivanesque Buildings, which was an Appendix in the 2002 book; and, 3) summarize highlights of the Sullivanesque Movement. This new publication does not supplant but supplements the original 2002 book. Since the 2002 Inventory of Sullivanesque Buildings, an alarming number have been demolished. This distinctly American kind of architecture is becoming more difficult to find. The inventory and photographs thoroughly record known Sullivanesque buildings, both extant and lost. This is a 8" x 10" book with 166 pages and 574 color photographs by the author. In addition, there are 21 historical photographs predating 1924. This new book is a concise but thorough documentation of Sullivanesque Architecture.

This volume brings together for the first time all the papers Louis Sullivan intended for a public audience, from his first interview in 1882 to his last essay in 1924. Organized chronologically, these speeches, interviews, essays, letters to editors, and committee reports enable readers to trace Sullivan's development from a brash young assistant to Dankmar Adler to an architectural elder statesman. Robert Twombly, an authority on Sullivan's work and life, has introduced each document with a headnote explaining its significance, locating it in time and place, and examining its immediate context. He has also provided a general introduction that analyzes Sullivan's writing style and objectives, his major philosophical themes, and the sources of his ideas. With the help of headnotes and introduction, readers will get a thorough sense of Sullivan's concerns, discover how his ideas evolved and changed, and appreciate the circumstances under which new interests emerged. This collection is a handy introduction to the full range of Sullivan's thinking, the book with which readers interested in the architect's writings should begin. As a companion volume to Robert Twombly's biography of Sullivan, it gives a comprehensive picture of one of America's most important architects and cultural figures.
