Man Does Not Create, He Discovers

These are the paraphrased words of Antoni Gaudi that will greet you entering the Mori Art Exhibition:: Takehiko Inoue Interprets Gaudi's Universe.  

It would be plain to say the works of both Gaudi and Takahiro Inoue's were impressive and compelling.

The greater thing to come away with from exhibition is the consideration of  artistic creation and expression come from.  We are moved and compelled by what we observe. Nature served a great part in influencing Gaudi's hand.  As for Inoue-san it seems that Gaudi, the man himself has compelled his hand rather than his expressive voice.  Indeed he has interpreted Gaudi in his own way -- interpreting his work with Gaudi's voice would be of course, just copying.

"The creation continues incessantly through the media of man. But man does not create, he discovers.  Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.  Copiers do not collaborate.  Because of this, originality consists in returning to the origin."  - Antoni Gaudi
