EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:



Let it not be said that art in monumental If culpture cannot serve humble pur •:isu< Robert Allerton Park has a meaning, it must be that landscape is handsomely served by great sculpture, and further, that even the world's great masterpieces are elevated to a superior eminence by the fine art of spatial design in the landscape. Here the insistence on realization of form beyond mere decoration becomes startling evidence of the meaning of formal beauty. Here is the obvious achievement of placing landscape architecture among the great arts of design.
