weirdest thing....i have dreamt i was in a van gogh
painting.....it was so glorious.....and then i FIND this
quote by the master....so sad....so misunderstood during his
lifetime.....*weeps for him*

I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream. -Vincent van
Gogh, artist
(1853-1890)

*sorry for my outburst, but van gogh's work is very special
to me* enjoy =0)

That's beautiful. What's your connection with van Gogh? Do
you just really enjoy his story, or is there more to it?

heheh no connection except the connection one feels with a
fellow human being. =0)

his story should be read if you want to know the whole story
of his sad yet beautiful life......the love between him and
his brother...his tortured life.....i really recommend
reading the letters between him and his brother theo.

i visited their graves outside of paris....and i visited the
south of france....arles....avignion.....st remy...where van
gogh painted. then i went to amsterdamn to see his work
there.....gosh i can talk for days about him.....it's nuts.
i had my nose practically pressed up against the glass
looking at his brush strokes....yes i know it's nuts

i'm an artist too (well i have a degree and so i may feel
that connection as well)

forgive my chattering =)

yea, van gogh's paintings are mindblowing. however, if i'd
had to choose a favourite, it'd be Kandinsky. i really like
Malevich (Malevitj) too.

yea Klimt=wonderful
LeCoeur, if you have a degree in art, maybe you've read
kandinsky's 'concerning the spiritual in art'. if you have,
what do you think of it? it's some keewl ass shit, IMO

i have read a lot about kandinsky with my studies in
architecture, more than art. however i have not read that
work, but i have written the title and i plan on checking it
out. =)

are you an artist as well? or do you just have an interest
in art?

art and architecture. i'm applying for the KTH School of
Architecture is stockholm next year..

ahhhh......yes....sounds strangely familiar =)

i began with art.....and i've completed 1 1/2 yrs in
architecture school. so in my mind they are
combined....intertwined. congrats on entering a most amazing
field.

is your focus in art....sculpture by chance?? mine was
.....well painting as well....but 3D design....well....i
feel in love with that.

i'm more into photography and painting than sculpture. i
wish i knew more about 3d design, it's so cool:)
actually i've been interested in architecture for years, but
i havn't applied for a school until now...
do you have any favourite buildings, architects?

ahhhh photography.....i've dabbled in that a bit, especially
black and white photography. i have a whole series...and
don't think i'm morbid....of photos of cemetary tombs and
gates that surround them. i took a lot of them whilst i was
in new orleans. they are photo's i'm quite proud of.

i have MANY favourite buildings and architects. i have this
fascination with skyscrapers....i've tried to visit the 20
tallest structures in the world. i think i have about 12
clicked off so far.

a few favourite architects and buildings....which i've
talked about before on this MB are.....

- villa savoy
- sagrata familia
- crysler building
- john hancock building
- falling water
- guggenheim .....bilbao

architectes
- gehry
- gaudi
- van der rohe
- pei
- corbu

what are some of your favourites...buildings and
architects??
