Architecture is the most anonymous of arts. Unlike paintings or sculpture, buildings are unsigned and the average man is seldom conscious of their creators unless his attention is challenged by the fact that a building is the largest or the highest or the most expensive in the world. Henry Bacon's career was a record of steady, undeviating loyalty to his ideal of perfection in architecture and his success was due to his character as well as to his love of beauty. His productive work slowly increased until it included bank buildings, university dormitories, libraries, churches, schoolhouses and all manner of public and private buildings.
