While watching the Frank Gehry documentary in class, I realized a lot of his buildings and designs were very strange. Beyond strange actually. They were nothing like I've ever seen before in a building or a piece of architecture. He just does what he wants with the buildings he creates and doesn't care about the laws of physics, or how real the building will look, or the judgments he will receive. He does what he wants, and that allows him to enjoy the final product in the end even more.
I found this very similar to a lot of cubist paintings. When I look at a painting of cubism, I first think what the heck the artist was thinking. It just looks like a bunch of shapes or objects put together in a random way. It doesn't make sense to me. But in the artist's mind, he has a perfect vision of what the painting is supposed to mean. This is the artist's way of expressing himself, just like how Gehry does for himself. They have a vision, and once they complete it, it means the world to them, and it is a spectacular piece of art. Cubism also is very unique for different artists, they each have their own style of cubism that shows who they are. Just like in architecture, every architect has their own style of building, and Gehry's is the most unique I have ever seen. These 2 things are very unique and I enjoy looking at these baffling and marvelous pieces of art. They are extremely interesting.
