Frank
Gehry
New Lithographs
Among the most innovative architects in history, Frank
Gehry's buildings seem to defy the natural laws
of physics. He makes solid materials appear fluid, and
his buildings have been compared to dancers and sculpture.
Gehry pays no attention to precedence or the "rules"
in architecture that bind his colleagues and predecessors.
Scarcely anywhere in his oeuvre is a traditional grid
structure; pretending never to worry about whether or
not a structure will stand, he designs without traditional
restraints and finds a way to make his buildings sound.
Ed
Ruscha
Cityscapes
It's difficult to talk about Ed Ruscha's
work without mentioning the west coast. A seminal
American artist, he is more specifically, a progeny
of Los Angeles. He left his home-state of Oklahoma to
attend Chouinard Art Institute (now Cal Arts) with the
intention of becoming a commercial artist, and this
has influenced his work ever since. An excellent draughtsman,
he's always been drawn to clean compositions and has
used text in his work since the 1950's.
