Oscar Niemeyer Quotes About Mountain

Quotes about: Mountain

• It is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve - the curve that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuous course of its rivers, in the body of the beloved woman.

  Oscar Niemeyer

• What attracts me are free and sensual curves. The curves we find in mountains, in the waves of the sea, in the body of the woman we love.

  "Oscar Niemeyer, architect of Brazil's capital, dies aged 104" by Jonathan Watts, www.theguardian.com. December 5, 2012.

• I deliberately disregarded the right angle and rationalist architecture designed with ruler and square to boldly enter the world of curves and straight lines offered by reinforced concrete... This deliberate protest arose from the environment in which I lived, with its white beaches, its huge mountains, its old baroque churches, and the beautiful suntanned women.
