爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
For over a year he made sketches, and finally the theme was decided upon: a bevy of youths and maidens in gala costume, on their way through gardens and along terraces to a great fete, with pierrots and dancers and musicians on the main wall space. It was to be a picture of happy youth and sunny gladness. Five years after the conception of the idea the final panel was finished and installed in the dining-room, where the series has since been admired by the thirty to fifty thousand visitors who come to the Curtis Building each year from foreign lands and from every State in America. No other scheme of mural decoration was ever planned on so large a scale for a commercial building, or so successfully carried out.

白话
帕里什花了一年多画草图,最后定下主题:一群穿着节日盛装的青年男女穿过花园和台阶去参加盛会,主墙上还有小丑、舞者和乐手。画面表现快乐青春和阳光般的欢欣。从构思到最后一幅画安装好,用了五年。如今每年有三到五万来自世界各地的游客欣赏这组壁画。这可能是商业建筑里最大规模、最成功的壁画装饰。核心是:好作品需要时间,但回报是长久的公共影响。
