"Growing and Shrinking House", 1942-1945: Perspective 1942 - 1945

Curator: Well, hello there. Editor: This is "Growing and Shrinking House," a perspective drawing by E. Duhart H., from the 1940s. There's this fascinating tension between the natural landscape and the modern house... What's your interpretation? Curator: Isn't it lovely? It seems to me that Duhart is trying to capture the way we dream of home, both rooted and expansive, like those trees. The house itself is so transparent, so open to the landscape. Almost yearning to be a part of it. Editor: That's a beautiful way to put it. I hadn't thought about the house yearning. It’s like it's trying to find its place. Curator: Exactly! A constant negotiation between structure and nature, order and freedom. Editor: That gives me a fresh perspective. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure. It's all about finding the poetry in the ordinary, isn't it?
