Stop. Look. Listen.

Artist Felix de la Concha spent more than a year at Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright’s famed stream-spanning house in western Pennsylvania, painting it and its setting at many times, from different viewpoints. The fifty paintings of “Fallingwater en Perspectiva” will be shown at the State Museum of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg Jan. 30-March 22. The exhibit will also include a short film about the creation of the paintings and a scale model of Fallingwater. (Call (717) 787-4980 for more information or check the site linked above.)

De la Concha has also carried out similar concentrated explorations of a single place. In 2004, he made 24 paintings of Clayton, the former home of Henry Clay Frick, for the Frick Art & Historical Center in Pittsburgh, one for each hour of the day, painted from a single spot with the viewpoint shifting twice through a 360-degree circle.  In a 1997-98 project, now on permanent display at the Old Masonic Temple in Pittsburgh, he painted a picture a day for a year of the University of Pittsburgh’s Cathedral of Learning, each one from a different vantage point.
