HOLLIDAY, P. J., American Arcadia. California and the Classical Tradition. Oxford University Press, 2016. 480p. Hardback. Beyond L.A.'s cinemas and emporia with their exuberant, Hollywood-inspired Egyptian, Maya, and Assyrian decor, American Arcadia reveals the surprisingly pervasive presence of Greek and Roman antiquity in California. Both model and metaphor, the 'new Hellas' that Peter Holliday portrays is a culturally ambitious Golden State, where classicism inspired art, architecture, landscapes, and the body. Claire Lyons, J. Paul Getty Museum |a 09/02/2016 (Publisher's information). € 74.73 (New) (Printed on Demand) (approx. delivery time: 4 weeks) ISBN: 9780190256517
