La deformazione delle direttrici all’esterno del corpo trasforma la linea retta in traiettoria. Gehry sembra affastellare la materia in memorie scultoree futuriste con movimenti vibranti, in cui vige la regola dello spazio catturato attorno a volumi, grazie a collisioni e scontri.1 Un’architettura che è tormentata da un’incessante ricerca e stratificazione di motivi - anche indipendenti gli uni dagli altri - che si accumulano a cercare un sistema costruito complesso. Una complessità che gioca al massacro del monocromo riflettente ed echeggia il tormento del cielo della Provenza che, unito al paesaggio terrestre che fu teatro di una città romana, ispirò celeberrimi dipinti di Vincent Van Gogh. È pleonastico ripeterlo, molto si è già scritto in proposito e tutti sembrano concordi nell’individuare una specie di dialogo fuori dal tempo tra il pittore olandese e Gehry. Entrambi si sarebbero ispirati alle formazioni rocciose della regione francese, il primo per la sua Notte stellata e il secondo per aver dato corpo ai segni di Van Gogh e averli posizionati su un crepidoma ovale in forma di anfiteatro

Abstract
The deformation of the lines outside the body transforms the straight line into a trajectory. Gehry seems to pile matter into futuristic sculptural memories with vibrant movements, where the rule of space is captured around volumes, thanks to collisions and clashes.1 An architecture that is tormented by an incessant search for and layering of motifs - even independent of each other - that accumulate to seek a complex built system. A complexity that plays at the massacre of the reflective monochrome and echoes the torment of the Provençal sky which, together with the terrestrial landscape that was the site of a Roman city, inspired Vincent Van Gogh's famous paintings. It goes without saying that much has already been written about it and everyone seems to agree that there is a kind of timeless dialogue between the Dutch painter and Gehry. Both are said to have been inspired by the rock formations of the French region, the former for his Starry Night and the latter for fleshing out Van Gogh's signs and placing them on an oval crepidome in the form of an amphitheatreFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
