The great German architect, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe once said, "God is in the details." As artists, we are often compelled to shock and awe with peculiar and unconventional creations. However, it's best to sometimes keep it simple and graceful. We frequently get so caught up in the grandeur of our projects that we forget to focus on the details. Many can learn from this artist who strived for simplicity and often referred to his creations as "skin and bones" architecture. Sometimes the simplest productions can be the most surprising and satisfying.
