Papers, 1914-1953.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50958056

Papers (1914-1914 and ca. 1945-1953) contain a few letters and notes, drafts, and final copies of book reviews, articles, and chapters of books. Chapter topics include Gothic Culture, Medieval Architecture, Romanesque Art and Architecture, Baroque Art, and Renaissance Painting, particularly the paintings of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo Buonarroti. The bulk of the latter material probably pertains to a book on which Mayo was working at the time of his death in 1954, to have been titled The Great Pendulum, recording the cycles between romanticism and rationalism in art and literature.
