Description

With Steel Shadows, you don\u2019t have to visit exhibition halls at Carnegie Mellon University or the John Heinz History Center to enjoy Douglas Cooper\u2019s unique, realistic and highly personal images of Pittsburgh.

Steel Shadows brings his large charcoal and paper art home to you.

Cooper details the inspiration for his artistic vision, as well as the formal properties of his art and how it relates to architecture.

The book features double-page spreads of his murals, his essay, and excerpts from Pittsburgh authors telling the stories of the city\u2019s ethnic and eclectic style of neighborhoods, combining details of bridge building and steel making with poetry, historical accounts, and stories of the daily lives of Pittsburghers, all set against the backdrop of the city\u2019s raw industrial landscape. Steel Shadows is a book for students of art, architecture, urban studies, and oral history.

Most of all, it is a book to share with friends and family, and a book to rekindle memories of this former steel town.
