Description

The Grotesque 10: Amazing Architectural Sculpture from Ten American Colleges & Universities - A Virtual Lecture with Mathew Duman, Photographer, Author 

Armed with only a camera, a sense of humor and a host of frequent flyer miles, Mathew Duman embarked on a “grotesque safari”, traveling to 10 universities around the country to photograph the unique grotesques and gargoyles roosting on their academic buildings. Mathew found that this sculpture makes its home within a style of architecture known as Collegiate Gothic which was popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He has collected his findings in his book called: The Grotesque 10: Amazing Architectural Sculpture from Ten American Colleges and Universities  and presents a selection in this illustrated lecture, giving you a taste of the variety of ornament, history and humor these campuses have to offer.
