It's a very particular view though of course, resulting in a particularly frontal, facade based architecture.<br /><br />Yes, the Hockney influence (or, indeed, Caulfield and other English painters) is interesting. It's a very english form of pop culture that is essentially literary in its basis and also linked to pop life vignettes by The Kinks et al.Suburban sets is a short story or a pop lyric or a still life as much as an architectural proposal i think.Charles Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749776401395551607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795208825742635713.post-3099088654458129562009-12-19T00:26:41.940+00:002009-12-19T00:26:41.940+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Charles Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749776401395551607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795208825742635713.post-30157946699634236452009-12-18T20:19:46.070+00:002009-12-18T20:19:46.070+00:00I was aware of this drawing but I never made the t...I was aware of this drawing but I never made the team 4 connection. It's got that interesting english suburban surrealist thing, and the projection is nuts!<br /><br />Incidentally- I refer to the 'Retreat' as a 'B29 cockpit' in a forthcoming review, but a Lancaster would have been much better. I suppose I was stressing their admiration for the New World... One of the things from that AA exhibition that I didn't have space to mention was the chap in the internal perspective of the 'Retreat', a figure straight out of a Hockney painting, with binoculars, a book, a camera, two glasses and a bottle of wine set out in front of him...Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658628800390775081noreply@blogger.com
