More Description"I MAKE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A BOOK AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PAINTING." --HENRI MATISSE. SELF-TAUGHT PAINTER JEF7REY HILDNER AKA HENRY TRUCKS draws on his inspiration as an architect to explore the theme of the rectangle, simultaneously aesthetic and symbolic. He invites viewers to explore the open-ended meaning of his semi-abstract pictures by seeing them as both maps and windows: panoramic landscapes you could either snapshot from an airplane or view from your porch looking toward the horizon. His paintings depict site plans and facades-open spaces and walls.The Architect Painter presents not only a highly developed aesthetic language, which he applies to his buildings. Through his modern, asymmetric layering of lines and planes, positive figures and negative spaces, through devices of color, texture, and collage, he evokes the spirit of ancient myths, a symbolic dimension that also infuses his architecture.Trucks blends signature concepts: Control and Soul, Pretty and Gritty, Jigsaw Design, Negative Cubism, and Empty Space / Full Space. (The Architect Painter outlines all nine concepts in his book Daedalus 9.) He explores what he calls the "Visual Chess Game of Move and Meaning"-the basis for an architecture of Form and Story that he has so far most fully realized in his award-winning project, Dante|Telescope House.This special 150-page large-format hardcover edition features high resolution images of paintings produced from full-size digital captures. Also featured: The Architect Painter's 2000 foundational essay "Significant Space."
