The Grotesque 10: Amazing Architectural Sculpture from Ten American Colleges and Universities

The Grotesque 10: Amazing Architectural Sculpture from Ten American Colleges and Universities In-Person

Armed with only a camera and a sense of humor, Mathew Duman embarked on a “grotesque safari”, traveling to 10 universities around the country to photograph the unique grotesques and gargoyles roosting on their academic buildings.

Mathew found that this type of sculpture makes its home within a style of architecture known as Collegiate Gothic which was popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Come and enjoy an “illustrated lecture”, and see the variety of ornament, history and humor these campuses have to offer.
