I like western art and sculpture, if that explains me.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689245642139665514.post-51491015008410323062016-06-10T00:40:33.781-06:002016-06-10T00:40:33.781-06:00BTW, thanks for your remarks over at my blog!BTW, thanks for your remarks over at my blog!Raven Onthillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634556869209594389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689245642139665514.post-47155148042888367692016-06-10T00:40:13.827-06:002016-06-10T00:40:13.827-06:00There is actually structural logic that gives the ...There is actually structural logic that gives the forms (Gaudi regarded statically determinate structures as god-given, and these often turn out to be biomorphic), but it's much more fun to pretend it's all chaotic.Raven Onthillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634556869209594389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689245642139665514.post-79245698494895468172016-05-29T11:28:50.215-06:002016-05-29T11:28:50.215-06:00Amen, sister.
