ART
AND ICON
The Golden Gate Bridge continues
to astound and inspire. Some believe its soaring grace and sublime elegance
enhance the beauty of its site as few man-made structures do. Considered
an Art Deco sculpture and a symphony in steel, the bridge has always inspired
artists, poets, writers, and filmmakers. It has also become a symbol for
communication, for the portal to the Pacific -- uniting America and Asia
-- and for San Francisco, its magical city by the bay.
