I am supposed to speak on the influence of Visual Art on Architecture. To my mind we ought to discuss the effects of separating the visual arts from architecture. For, as we all know, modern architecture has completely separated itself from other visual arts. It has now entered into a period of aesthetics that ignores the emotion that comes from art. It is the architecture of reason. It has separated the thought from feeling. It has built remarkable buildings. We admire their delicate lines, their airiness, their elegance, and their purity.
