I love these doors. They have great symmetry and rhythm. The mix of diagonal, curving and straight lines is really well balanced. And they have just the right amount of rust and dust.
Everybody's looking for something. Mary Ann is looking for the real Beirut, whatever that means. These are the photos she takes along the way.
You can browse around the archives here or check out her other blogs. There's one from a few years ago, back when she blogged about art. And then there's another from '09 when she lived in St. Louis (USA).
Rust and dust, I like that. And yes the pattern is very pleasing.

Hmm Jugendstil? Can't be. Hm? On the other hand: why not?
ReplyDeleteAh, Art Nouveau gives leo.org as English translation for the German Jugendstil.

So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI agree, so many things go better with a little rust!
