CULTURAL LANDSCAPE TREATMENT PLAN ROBERT ALLERTON PARK, MONTICELLO, ILLINOIS • Fu Dog Garden (13B, C, D) SCULPTURES AND FURNISHINGS Sculpture was an integral feature of Robert Allerton’s gardens from the beginning. However, for the most part, the sculptures were intended as landscape features, rather than as works of art. The two major exceptions are the Centaur and the Sun Singer, both monumental sculptures that Allerton acquired relatively late in the development of the park, that are the focus of major spaces within the formal garden complex. In both cases, the sculptural setting is an integral component with the work of art. These landscape settings have both evolved over time, reducing their intended impact. 1935-40 (HGCN-17) – In this early view from the Centaur, the pylons are a visible and integral component of the landscape setting. 2001 – Today the pylons are all but lost from view.
