Oak Park is one of my favorite neighborhood in Chicago. Perhaps because it’s particular of the America Culture, with all these houses in line, in woods. We went during Christmas and it was covered in snow , with the particular light of this region, we had a good time.
The more I read about him; the more I love him. I can add him in my list of personalities who touched me deepier than the others,
as fellini, Roland Barthes, Deleuze… Maybe because of his madness which propulse him with the greatest architects.
He was so early in his time and probably in our time as well. I cannot understand how we still build houses without interrests whereas him and plenty of genius made great things and had showed the exemple. It was so interesting for me to enter and understand his work. He is one of the character the most important and famous who had lived in the Middle West.
He was really closed to the Art Nouveau Style that I knew well when I lived in Nancy.
I think that his artwork touched me a lot because it’s so closed to the Japanese art as much as for the idea of Nature than for the research of the balance between the elements.
It’s so interesting to recognize some elements that we can see in the Impressionistes, the taste of the Nature, the light, the play with the differents space and not to forget the field of experimentation by the body.
When you look at the sceau ( his firm above) how can not you think about Toulouse Lautrec, The Artists of the Sécession. All these painters were so influenced by Japanese Art with the same ideology of the Main Nature.
