“Form follows function” and “less is more” are two famous dictums of modernist architecture. We will look at the architecture of Sullivan, Wright, and other major players and their timeless designs.

Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe established a doctrine of an architecture that was simple, stable, and functional. The Post-Modernism of architects Frank Gehrey and Michael Graves was eclectic, unstable in appearance, and self-consciously reflective of past styles. The architecture of our time reflects the world we live in today.

Sean Crum has been a professional artist, printmaker, art historian and musician for over 40 years. He was awarded a Master of Art degree from Case Western Reserve University in 1977. Sean has received over 40 art and educational awards, been featured in 12 one-man shows and has been accepted into over 60 juried shows. Sean conducts museum tours at the Cleveland Museum of Art & the Allen Museum of Art in Oberlin, Ohio and has done numerous workshops, demonstrations and art-history presentations for various local organizations.
