frank owen gehry - born february 28, 1929.
- "he is an architect of immense gifts who dances on the line separating architecture from art but who manages never to let himself fall."
- "i approach each building as a sculptural object, a spatial container, a space with light and air, a response to context and appropriateness of feeling and spirit."
- "professes to be unsure of what is ugly and what is beautiful. it is irrelevant."
- "at the point where architecture and sculpture meet in anxious and uneasy confrontation."

kathleen: haha. nice memory.

my memory amazes me sometimes. no wonder i forget my purse (and bible) everywhere...
"We perceive with the soul, we express with the body, and the soul would impress its own idealism on its perception. Realistic pictures then are no more art than stock reports or railroad timetables are poetry."
- J.E.H. MacDonald, The Relation of Poetry to Painting with Special Reference to Canadian Painting (1929 lecture).
"Realistic pictures then are no more art than stock reports or railroad timetables are poetry."
i disagree. but i /do/ like unrealistic art...etc. then there's room for interpretation.
i disagree too. i just think it's interesting...
it's funny, though, because if i were an english teacher and a student handed in a train time table for a poetry assignment, i'd give them 100.
never be a grade school teacher andy. thats for sure.
