Oscar Niemeyer

"My work is not about "form follows function," but "form follows beauty" or, even better, "form follows feminine."

- Quoted in Tracy Metz, "'Form Follows Feminine': Niemeyer, 90, Is Still Going Strong," Architectural Record (December 1997), p. 35

"It is not the right angle that attracts me.

nor the straight line, tough, inflexible,

created by man.

what attracts me is the free, sensual curve.

the curve I find in the mountains of my country,

in the sinuous course of its rivers,

in the waves of the sea,

in the clouds of the sky,

in the body of the favourite woman.

Of curves is made all the universe."

- As quoted on a Photo page on the Museum of Contemporary Art over Baia da Guanabara

Erwin Hauer - Installation Art

"Graceful and sensual, with distinctly clean lines, the screens suggest the solidity of organic forms and the fluidity of music. Roger Fiedler, in an article in Art Review Magazine, wrote: a large body of Hauers work, beginning in 1950, entails elements of infinity, continuity and periodic repetition. This reiteration is strongly present in Baroque music, where we often find ongoing continua, totally repetitive, and then the theme music emerges and interweaves with the framework of the continuum. Asserting that music has always been his main inspiration, Hauer says the shapes within his continua need to be cantabile.", akin to theme melodies."
