AbstractThe Legion of Honor, founded in 1924, is one of San Francisco’s oldest art museums. Perched on a hill in the quiet splendor of Lincoln Park, overlooking a panorama of hills, water, and sky, the museum draws visitors and scholars from all over the world. A city museum since its founding, the Legion united with the de Young in 1972 to become the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, conserving and presenting an inclusive, wide-ranging collection that dates from the fourth millennium BC to the twenty-first century.Published to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the Legion of Honor, this volume presents one hundred artworks selected from the Legion’s curatorial departments: ancient art; European paintings; European decorative arts and sculpture; costume and textile arts; and works of art on paper. Engaging curatorial introductions to the objects, poetic essays exploring the theme of each section, concise histories of the Legion and its curatorial departments, and an illustrated timeline of the museum’s history, all accompanied by sumptuous new photography, present this cherished museum to audiences today and offer new ways of connecting with its artworks. The diversity of permanent-collection objects featured in Legion of Honor 100 represents the deep and varied perspectives on view in the museum’s galleries, conveying the centrality of art in the human experience.
