I have attached a link to a video that gives a clear outlook on Michael Graves place in history.
Throughout his eminent career, Michael Graves has achieved various distinguished titles and awards but most importantly has broadened the role of the architect in society and raising public interest in good design as essential to the quality of everyday life. I truly admire the way he is able to influence a positive and lively sense of emotion through his unique designs that hold so much character. As an accessories designer, it is my aspiration to create aesthetic designs that are distinctive but hold immense quality through durability and functionality as well.
This is one of his earliest paintings.
This painting was from his Remembered Landscapes section in the gallery.
As an architect he did many studies on the shapes that he wanted to include in his buildings. While viewing his artwork I began to recognize his style and connected his paintings to the architecture I had viewed online.
This building is the St. Coletta Special Education Public Charter School. This school serves students with intellectual disabilities, autism and secondary disabilities. The colorful and imaginative shapes of the buildings must surely fascinate the children.
When I first viewed these paintings I felt like I could see Disney characters hidden in the abstract. These paintings were actually studies for carpets that Michael Graves had designed for a hotel that I cannot recall.
At the end of the night I was fortunate to have Michael Graves sign one of my favorite paintings that was inside the booklet I received at Studio Vendome.
