Recently a new book came out on Hildreth Mei&egrave;re, the artist behind such familiar NYC architectural ornaments and murals as this medallion on the front of Radio City Music Hall (photo: NY Times). Since The Art Deco Murals of Hildreth Mei&egrave;re was published, several articles have appeared. Below are handy links:
&quot;If These Walls Could Speak, They&rsquo;d Say Her Name&quot; (NY Times)
&quot;Art Deco New York&quot; (NY Times slide show)
&quot;The Best Art Deco Designer Who Almost No One Remembers&quot; (The Atlantic)
&quot;New book highlights work of female Art Deco muralist&quot; (AP)
And before you ask, no, I hadn&amp;#8217;t heard of her either, although surely there are those of you who follow this blog who have.
