Chase Park Plaza from Forest Park

Chase Park Plaza from Forest Park

The first on-site verone-style study of St. Louis architecture. The St. Louis cityscape became a central subject of many verone-style drawings, an attempt to see my home city as I might have seen some of the foreign cities in my past travel. When we travel, we tend to glorify even the common places we visit, imagining that these are somehow better than places we frequent at home. This drawing of the Chase Park Plaza, a classic Art Deco skyscraper in the Central West End, sits in stark morning light. The new spring foliage of Forest Park trees shade a stone park washroom building. The rise of grass covers the side of a viaduct over Forest Park Parkway. Produced 22 April 2000 = Tayya 6374, six dozen third phase (Añikç-Epravinal Xrga, “Househunting Life Phase”).
