About Cass Gilbert

Ameerika suurepärasuse arhitekt

Cass Gilbert seisab Ameerika arhitektuuriajalooos hiiglaslikuna figuurina, inimesena, kelle visjon mu visitas fundamentaalselt kahekümmendese aasta alguse esteetilist maastiku. Lahingun Troy's, New York'is, olid tema kasvuaastad täis sügava austamise klassikalise traditsiooni ja täiusliku käsitöömeistri vastu. Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituudis saadud akadeemilise hariduse kaudu arendas Gilbert filosoofia, sellest sai tema kaasaegne tunnusmärk: Beaux-Arts-i printsiipide ü seamless sünergism koos ujuva riigi edasiveerilise insinööritehnika meetoditega. Nimedes inspiratsiooni Pariisi meistrite suurepärasusest, nagu Auguste Choisel ja Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, püüdis ta rakendada demokraatia, seaduse ja humanismi ideaale oma ehitiste själikusse.

Kivisse ja terassesse lõigetud pärand

Tema tööd iseloomustas haruldane võime eelistada konstruktsioonilist puhtust koos sügava kunstilise ilukõla vastu. See dualism võimaldas tal saada monumentuaalseks pilvepiirini ulatuvate kõrged ehitised eeskujulikuks pioneeriks, eriti pärast Woolworth Buildingi valmimist aastal 1913. Limedist ja terracotta-st pärand, see suurepärane teos määrkas ümber kaasaegse silueti estetiika ja toimis New York City tohutu majandusliku võimu sümbolina. Siiski ei olnud Gilberti genius reserveeritud vaid Manhattani kõrgustele; tema pühendumus linnaühiskondlikule väärikusele on samav medida ilmestunud ka tema monumentaalsetes avalikes teosedes, nagu Minnesota Capitol ja Detroit Public Library, kus ta kasutas mõõtust ja ornamentikaid Ameerika institutsioonide püsivuse tähistamiseks.

Hingaslik käsi monumendaalse taga

Kuigi ajalugu peab teda meeles tema massiliste kivi- ja torukonstruktsioonide ning kõrgete tornide eest, eksisteeris Gilbertis tundlik ja tähelepanelik kunstnik, kes oli võimeline äärmilise peenuse loomisel. Tema akvarellid ja pliiatsid paljastavad tema vaimu teise tahku — ühe, mis on kohanenud ajalooliste stseenide romantismile ja valguse peenile mängule. Teosetest nagu 'Latin Quarter, Paris' ja 'Tower at Enkhuisen, Holland,' leiab vaataja vaosustatud värvipaletti ja tekstuuride meisterliku kontrolli, mis tabavad möödunud ajastu olemust. Need teosed tõestavad, et tema arhitektuuriline täpsus sündis sügavast kunstilisest arusaatest atmosfääri ja detailide kohta, kinnitades, et isegi kõige monumentaalsemad loojad omavad südame intimitoodule ja hetkikusele.
