Gehry as an artist While it is evident that Gehry is not a modernist, cubist, post modernist, destructivist or a deconstructivist, some people are still questioning whether Gehry is an artist. It is important to know that Gehry has received much attention as an exceptional architectural artist. He personally attests that much of his inspiration comes from art.

This is due to the fact the Gehry personally attests that he thinks much about painting and explores how this idea can be integrated in the structures he creates. This belief of integrating art ideas into his works could be a probably factor that has made him experiment with paint to produced the ‘unfinished’ buildings. Basically, building is a form of art and from any artistic architecture, it can be confirmed that the building’s structure tends to be more poetic than a complete building. This may be the reason why Gehry created the ‘unfinished’ buildings such as his house; it was simply an appreciation of the more profound art. As Joyce elaborates, Ghery’s work has always been a portrayal of art. This is because Gehry has been able to follow his vision for art from the 1960’s via a ‘formal experimentation’ in LA houses to the eminent artistic expression phase that is currently characterized by buildings such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall as shown in the picture below and Bilbao.
