Work Creator notes (display):
American landscape designer, urban planner and writer. Influenced by 18th-century English traditions of landscape design and by his own social beliefs in the importance of community and the civilizing role of aesthetic taste, Olmsted undertook a large number of public and private commissions. His commissions ranged from regional plans and scenic reservations to residential communities, academic campuses, and the grounds of private estates. With his partner calvert Vaux and later independently, he designed a series of city parks systems between 1858 and 1895 in which landscaped parks were integrated with other public spaces through broad interconnecting thoroughfares, or parkways, which incorporated drives, paths and areas of turf and trees. His major work includes Central Park (185877), New York, and the 'Emerald Necklace' series of public spaces in Boston (1880s). He believed in the power of landscaped scenery to exercise a restorative and civilizing influence. Charles E. Beveridge. "Olmsted, Frederick Law." In Grove Art Online.
