Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Let Keir Graff take you inside Chicago's Fine Arts Building - a building that hides worlds behind its doors.Exploring the Fine Arts Building's warren of hallways is like stepping into a time machine. It's not a museum-it's a place of work. The walls reverberate with timeless music. Sopranos soar up to the high notes as violin bows draw tunes from strings. Someone plays a piano so busily they must have twelve fingers. Dancers' feet thud against wooden floors. A tuba burps out "Ride of the Valkyries" as the doors of the manually operated elevators provide percussive slams. And more quietly, behind closed doors, painters paint, writers write, and luthiers shave soft ribbons from billets of spruce.In Chicago's Fine Arts Building, celebrated writer and Fine Arts Building tenant Keir Graff takes readers behind the scenes of this cultural hub. Initially conceived as a space for artists' studios, a home for the city's working artists, the building was an immediate success, but the Great Depression brought a long, slow decline to the building. Graff explores the building's history, its revitalization, and its cultural place in the city of Chicago. Featuring interviews with current tenants and access to the building's archives, including historical photos and artifacts, and a foreword by bestselling author Gillian Flynn,Chicago's Fine Arts Building sheds a new light on this storied building and its long history.Other Chicago landmarks have more stunning architecture or are more perfectly restored, but none of them has aged so well-because in the Fine Arts Building, it's the work that has been preserved. Two centuries have turned and its purpose remains the same: to provide artists and artisans space to pursue their callings, and community with other creatives, too, offering a living demonstration that something good happens when so many work so closely to each other. Which is not to say it's always been easy. Whatever comes easily in the arts?
