william steiger.

I'm loving this simple, geometric way of expressing architecture. This is a painting by william steiger and it makes me very happy. Architecture, reduced to its most basic planes and stripped of the context of environment, becomes a study in line and mass. The bright coloration further pushes it from realism, though I know from experience that shadow can appear blue in the right circumstances. I love the delicate tension between abstraction and realism that's been achieved here. Very cool indeed.
