A Pintura nas Colagens de Mies Van der Rohe

Abstract

A lot has been written about the architectural production of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, German architect naturalized American that built some of the most relevant pieces of architecture of the XX century. Mies produced an extensive amount of collages, today archived in the MoMA - Museum of Modern Art in New York, that unveil an accurate aesthetic of architectural representation. The principal investigation about this set of collages of Mies can be found in the book Montage Collage of Andreas F. Beitin, Wolf Eiermann e Brigitte Franzen, that constituted the catalog of the exhibition Mies van der Rohe: The collages of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, presented on October 28 of 2016, in the Ludwig Forum in Aachen, Germany. In time, they all made an undeniable contribution to start a debate on this subject. However, in this article we focus on a crucial element of the composition that has not been sufficiently studied:  the works of Art.
