Massimo Scolari's Drawings at Yale
-
This watercolor from 2006 is called Downtown. -
This watercolor from 2008 called New York looks more like a scene of sun-baked antiquity than anything in the thrumming metropolis. -
Dream of a Shadow, the Man from 2011 looks more like the cover of some tattered Italo Calvino paperback than anything else to me. Truly strange. -
This oil painting from 1979-1980 is called Gate for a Maritime City. I wonder what kind of vessel Scolari would have passing through this port. -
The watercolor The Misleading Muses is from 1972. -
A very consciously designed void dominates this 1978 watercolor, The Architecture of the Earth. -
The Pilot of the Labyrinth from 1978 seems more sci-fi than architectural representation, but I confess that I love it. -
Trippy stuff, bro. Hey will you lend me the new Frank Herbert novel? Beyond the Sky from 1982. -
Here is a reconstruction of the sculpture Wings on the roof of the School of Architecture IUAV, Università di Venezia, Santa Marta from 1992. The photo is by G. Basilico. -
This is the sculpture Wings on the Fondamenta della Tana at the Venice Biennale, 5th International Architecture Exhibition in 1991. -
This is the installation The Ark at the Milan Triennale in 1986. -
I kinda can't get enough of Scolari's sci-fi brand of post-modernism. Here's The Last Known City II from 2002.
