Master Carver Johannes Kirchmayer, 1860-1930 Hardcover Book

Master Carver Johannes Kirchmayer, 1860-1930: From Germany's Passion Play Village to America's Finest Sanctuaries. 140 pages. Fine. This is a full color collection of photos and desciptions of all the ecclesiastical carvings of Kirchmayer, a German immigrant, whose works are in churches and public buildings across America, in 68 communities. "Contemporaries described John Kirchmayer as the greatest woodcarver since the Middle Ages. F. Shirley Prouty, a descendant, has sought to perpetuate that legacy by documenting every example of Kirchmayer’s oeuvre in America. The result is an exhaustive and meticulous study that will be indispensable for any scholar who wishes to investigate and understand ecclesiastical art and architecture in the early decades of the twentieth century."
