From monumental bronze sculptures that
adorn its plaza, to magnificent murals, portraits and paintings
that bring vibrancy to its interior, the Oklahoma State Capitol
is rich with more than 100 works of art, each with its unique story
of diversity and tradition. A celebration of this art has
been documented for the first time in Art Treasures of the Oklahoma
State Capitol. This book traces the histories of the
capitol and the permanent artwork that glows beneath the majestic
new dome.
An Oklahoma Centennial Project, this
book is a masterful collaboration of the Oklahoma State Senate Historical
Preservation Fund, Inc., the Oklahoma Arts Council, the Oklahoma
Heritage Association and Friends of the Capitol, Inc. All
proceeds of the book will be used for the conservation, maintenance,
and commission of works for the State Capitol. The authors
present it as a cultural legacy to future generations and as a beautiful
tribute to the talented artists whose creativity has enhanced "the
People's Capitol."
