View Obstructed by Architecture

A common fault of architecture, I would say, is ego. It's too concerned with itself. When one looks out a window, one should see without, not within. The building must not get in the way of its occupants' gaze. Several of the Geishas were painted from this spot in Lilly Library.

Series Description: Scenes from the Harvard of the South, in Durham, North Carolina. Formerly Trinity College, it rose to prominence after a tobacco magnate opened his checkbook in the 1930s. See also dmoz.org/...Colleges and Universities/...Duke University/, and the Geisha series, painted at Lilly Library.
