Talk:Bertram Goodhue

Bertram G. Goodhue was primarily a Gothicist
I have read and studied the architecture of this relatively unknown, somewhat unheralded, architect/artist, and I believe the main article has a number of issues and deficiencies, one being that it over-emphasizes his Spanish work. He began in Gothic, and really ended in Gothic, or to be rather more precise, a neo-Gothic. He was influenced by developments and designs overseas, and was quite an experimentalist, yet when he did this, he was surprisingly and unusually successful. Spanish, Classical, Romanesque, Egyptian/Persian, besides Gothic, were all forms and traditions he was knowledgeable of, and employed. The article mentions Spanish, but this was really a complete side project for Mr. Goodhue, artistically, though it indeed may have had important effects (in architecture). His late experiment with Classical forms (a library) was I believe rather more important developmentally, and influenced, or was indicative of, his own movement towards simplicity in design. Always in love with powerful, solid forms and shapes, the (primitive) Egyptian element naturally fit in well with his artistic preferences. Using his ability and delight with certain detailing (such as the Persian), and taste in sculpture, he would eventually weave all this, using the Gothic base, into the creation of his own, somewhat unique, style. In doing this, he was not unlike a contemporary of his, F. L. Wright, in developing a personal aesthetic, albeit Bertram Goodhue's was quite different. (John G.
