爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

The great wall space of over one thousand square feet, unobstructed by a single column, in the main foyer of the building was decided upon as the place for the pivotal note to be struck by some mural artist. After looking carefully over the field, Bok finally decided upon Edwin A. Abbey. He took a steamer and visited Abbey in his English home. The artist was working on his canvases for the State capitol at Harrisburg, and it was agreed that the commission for the Curtis Building was to follow the completion of the State work.

白话

大厦主门厅有一面超过一千平方英尺的大墙,中间没有柱子遮挡,他们决定在这里放一幅关键壁画。博克仔细挑选后,选了埃德温·A·艾比。他坐船去英国艾比的家拜访。当时艾比正在为哈里斯堡州议会大厦画壁画,双方约定等州议会工作完成后,再接柯蒂斯大厦的委托。核心是:重要位置要请最好的艺术家,并尊重对方现有承诺,耐心排队。

上下文

艾比是美国著名壁画家,当时正在为宾夕法尼亚州议会大厦创作。博克专程赴英邀请。

今日一问

你找关键合作者时,会愿意等对方手头的事做完吗?
