- Summary
- "Photojournalist Santi Visalli, who has spent the last twenty years of his forty-year career photographing cities across the United States, offers "a city we knew was there but had not seen so clearly before."" "Carl Sandburg described Chicago in 1916 as "Building, breaking, rebuilding." Chicago invented and then reinvented the skyscraper, making it reach higher than anywhere else in the world. Visalli captures architectural masterpieces famous throughout the world - from Louis Sullivan's ornamental facades to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's sleek towers to Frank Lloyd Wright's matchless prairie-style structures - but also the works of the new generation of the Chicago School of Architecture." "But Chicago is about more than buildings: Visalli captures the dark girders of the El, the pomp of Michigan Avenue, and verdant green Lincoln Park. With more than two hundred images, Chicago reveals the paradoxes, triumphs, and pastimes of this great American city. For every Chicago native - and for those who simply love the City by the Lake - this is the book that tells Chicago's story."--BOOK JACKET.
