Remembering Professor James Stevens Curl 1937-2025 /
I had the opportunity to meet Professor Curl when he was in Boston to deliver a 2019 talk at the College Club in Boston at the invitation of the Institute of Classical Art and Architecture. He was with us to talk about his then recently published “Making Dystopia: The Strange Rise and Survival of Architectural Barbarism”.
His Talk was entertaining and thought provoking and at once affirming to those of us who had been insisting on the value of Traditional Art and Architecture.
Grace Episcopal Church, Ponca OK /
Grace Episcopal Church’s elegantly simple interior is focused on an open Gothic organ screen that fills almost the entire wall behind the altar. Cram and Ferguson were commissioned to create a colorful pattern for new acoustically transparent fabric to replace the existing dull grey cloth infill. The new design serves as a fitting backdrop for services in the chancel and gives depth to the interior with its blue background, embellished with a pattern of gold fleurs-de-lys and red accents.
