Form and Function: Remarks on Art, Design, and Architecture, by Horatio Greenough (University of California Press, 1957), is a collection of Greenough’s influential essays from the early 19th century. The collection is edited by Harold A. Small; introduction by Erle Loran. Horatio Greenough (1805–1852) was an American sculptor and an important theorist regarding the aesthetic program for genuinely American art and architecture and early modern architecture in general.
The monuments of Egupt and of Greece are sublime as expressions of their power and their feeling. The modern nation that appropriatest ehm displays only wealth in so doing.
