JEANNINE deNOBEL LOVE, CLEVELAND ARCHITECTURE, 1890-1930: BUILDING THE CITY BEAUTIFUL, MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS

To lure buyers, it’s common to say that a book is a “page-turner.” That’s not the case here, but nonetheless it’s well worth buying Jeannine deNobel Love’s Cleveland Architecture, 1890-1930: Building the City Beautiful, and keeping it close at hand. For anyone who lives in Cleveland or who’s interested in the arts, this is an indispensable reference. Cleveland’s greatest period […]

THE GOLD STANDARD: THE NEIGHBORHOOD RALLIES TO SAVE AN OLD BUILDING ON WATERLOO

Michael Gill Leave a comment

Architecturally speaking, the so-called “Gold Building” is nothing to write home about. It’s just two storefronts at the street level, and office space along a hallway upstairs: standard stuff of the streetcar era. Hundreds of buildings like this still stand—even a century beyond their heyday—along the commercial corridors of Cleveland. But the Gold Building, on Waterloo at East 156th Street, had […]

Gabriel X. Bly

Cleveland filmmaker Robert Banks doesn’t speak for Cleveland, or his neighborhood, or the history of films he collects, or for women: he observes, honors, and celebrates them.

Authentic Surface: an Exhibition at the Mansfield Art Center

George Whitten, Director

Visual authenticity or visual truth in a work of art has changed in its manifestation over time. In the Renaissance, authenticity meant a fidelity to nature and the representational appearance of the figure, objects, landscape, and narrative. Even within the parameters of this expectation, artists’ interpretations of veracity varied widely. As photography and film provided increasingly comprehensive documentation and visual […]

Brittany M. Hudak

It is only a coincidence that several arts organizations that have participated in the Cleveland Foundation’s Creative Fusion program are among the tenants of the building now known as The Pivot Center for Arts, Dance and Expression—on West 25th Street, between Seymour and Castle Avenues. However, the dual investments of money and creative energy that the artist residency program represented […]
