Recenzii
“Having
encountered
Douglas
Cooper’s
stunning
murals
of
Pittsburgh
in
their
original
grand
scale,
I
imagined
it
would
be
difficult
to
capture
their
sweeping
sense
of
place
within
the
confines
of
a
book.
..
Yet
the
University
of
Pittsburgh
Press
has
done
just
that
in
a
handsome
volume
entitledSteel
Shadows.
.
.
Mr.
Cooper
has
set
a
very
high
standard
in
capturing
the
drama
of
Pittsburgh
geography,
using
only
the
subtle
gradiations
of
black
and
white
and
a
keen
eye
for
detail.
Perhaps
improbably,
Mr.
Cooper
not
only
manages
to
portray
the
natural
curves
of
the
city’s
rivers
and
hills,
but
also
the
manic
attempt
to
impose
order
on
them
with
mills
and
bridges,
sjyscrapers
and
row
houses.
Infused
with
a
string
sense
of
the
past,
Mr.
Cooper’s
trick
is
to
provide
every
necessary
detail
for
convincing
realism
while
creating
an
overall
effect
that
seems
nothing
short
of
fantasy.
