really enjoyed this and your previous post. both inspiring in different ways!
i’ve always loved architecture. i love drawing my chairs and architecturally invalid structures! but seeing these, especially magritte’s staircase (because i love staircases too and have a painting in mind with a staircase in it).
It is in reality a nice and useful piece of information. I’m happy that you simply shared this helpful information with us. Please keep us informed like this. Thank you for sharing.
