Founders Room, The Museum of Modern Art New York . Philip Johnson. New York, USA. 1967. La lucha contra la gravedad parece el aliado perfecto para potenciar esa naturaleza estrictamente ornamental de la columna. Las palabras de C. Ray Smith demuestran cómo Philip Johnson se deshace de un plumazo de toda la herencia moderna heredada de su gran maestro Mies van der Rohe en «Founders Room» (1967) a partir de esas columnas ingrávidas. «Cuando el ojo sigue la estructura de acero, se ve que simplemente se detiene un pie y medio por encima del suelo. Se realiza así una inversión del idioma miesiano utilizado como pura decoración.» (Smith, 1976)[1] #bizarrecolumns #zerogravitycolumns #philipjohnson https://www.instagram.com/p/CL90EliMtgR/?igshid=33lspcfu7a1n

House & Garden visits Dominique de Menil at her Houston home on the opening of the family’s eponymous museum in 1987. Part III The opposite end of the Menil’s living room (see Part I) showcases Braque’s Interior with Palette over a grand piano selected by their designer, couturier Charles James - who also designed the Butterfly sofa, inspired by Man Ray’s Surrealist painting Observatory Time—The Lovers. The color scheme chosen by James was intended to compliment the Braque. Yep, that’s me in the second photo - taken three years ago by designer @wmtwigs ... who without I would have likely never seen the interiors of the Menil House, as it is not open to the public. The spaces are less layered than when Dominique presided over the house. Still, it was a thrill to experience this iconic home up close and personal. In the third photo, taken in the 1960’s, a tufted velvet-covered ottoman designed by Dominique grounds the center of the room.

Archives Road Trip: Indiana 

 A small town in Indiana was twice founded with utopian intentions: first as a Lutheran separatist colony called Harmonie (1814–1825); and then as a non-secular social experiment called New Harmony (1825–1827). In 1960 architect Philip Johnson (1906–2005) accepted an unconventional commission—to create a non-denominational site of reflection. The Roofless Church, shown here in an architectural rendering, featured a serene courtyard and small chapel. Celebrating the town’s humanist legacy, the church welcomes all visitors to worship under the sky.

This photograph by Louis Checkman of the architectural model for the Roofless Church is on view in our exhibition Off the Beaten Track: A Road Trip through the Archives of American Art on view through June 3 in our Lawrence A. Fleischman Gallery in Washington, D.C.
