Oil on panel · 40 × 40 cm
Mies van der Rohe is an oil on panel by Francesco Ferrari, from the series Grandi architetti del novecento. The architect’s portrait sits against a low modern pavilion of glass and stone, the horizontal lines of modernism held in warm colour.
The pavilion and the calm face radiate clarity, steel and twentieth-century form. Ferrari turns this homage to Mies into a celebration of modern architecture, light and painted space.
