John Marx's watercolours, first published in the Architectural
Review, are a captivating example of an architect's way of
thinking. Subtle and quiet they are nonetheless compelling works in
how they tackle a sense of place, of inhabiting space and time all
the while resonating with the core of one's inner being. There is
an existential quality to these watercolours that is rare to be
found in this medium. Something akin to the psychologically
piercing observational quality of artists like De Chirico or
Hopper. As architects strive to communicate their ideas, it is
interesting to explore the world of Marx's watercolours as an
example of a humane approach to conveying emotional meaning in
relation to our environment. Marx's subject matter read like"built
landscape" heightening the role of the manmade yet wholly in
balance with the natural world. This is a message and sentiment
that is perhaps more important than ever to relay to audiences.
