Seller's Description:
New. Sacred Ground is a sumptuous photographic portrait of New Orleans's legendary cemeteries. Robert S. Brantley celebrates the otherworldly landscapes, intricate ironwork, evocative memorials, and stately monuments as vibrant sites of remembrance. New Orleans history is further revealed through biographies of twenty individuals whose grave sites are among those featured, including entrepreneurs, celebrated musicians, a world-class violin maker, an ex-slave turned minister, a ship's captain, and a young soldier felled by Spanish flu while in basic training for World War I. The rich duotone photographs, organized by cemetery, are followed by an index identifying the tombs and their iconography; an introduction by S. Frederick Starr provides background on New Orleans cemetery history, culture, and burial customs. Sacred Ground provides a stunning exploration of the traditions born of New Orleans's unique religious, cultural, and ethnic diversity. 'A sumptuous photographic portrait of New Orleans' legendary cemeteries and their collage of architectural monuments, sculptural memorials, ironwork, and landscapes, shown as living structures that are unique expressions of remembrance and identity. The open-air museums of each cemetery, really tell vivid stories about the Crescent City's haunting social history. With S. Frederick Starr's introduction, Brantley's 20 brief biographies, and Heather Veneziano's symbolic interpretations, Sacred Ground offers an absolute and artful display of the rituals, traditions, and unusual customs born out of New Orleans' environment, religious culture, and ethnic diversity.
