    Mr Gerhy is awesomely humble about his genius vision, heart and successful accomplishments.
  • A happy healthy family. That MAN is 93...years-old 👏🙀 as amazing as his work as his art. Thank you for showcasing a inspiration.

    Gehry's legacy inspires me to keep working and find a creative pursuit.

    Frank Gehry's work blows my mind. The way he is able to incorporate organic shapes, flowing lines, and jarring angles in these large structures is truly awe-inspiring.

    I feel so lucky to live just one and a half hours away from the amazing WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL and to regularly attend classical music concerts there. Next one in March is Stravinsky - FIREBIRD - conducted by also famous Gustavo Dudamel.
  • @TheSDJan
    He s the Gaudi of our times! This was fantastic!
  • Fluidity of his art, masterpieces. Structures of his beauty for the masses to delightfully appreciate upon viewing for many decades. Lessons for future artists to learn from a master.
  • He, and his legacy, are revolutionaryly STUNNING. Truly an artist.

    When we first got the EMP museum, now MoPOP in Seattle I thought it was odd looking and thought, what is this? Found out it was designed by Frank Gehry. Had heard the name but didn't know much about him. It grew on me as I liked visiting the museum and also found out more about Mr. Gehry. I realize everyone has their own observations and opinions, but as I've grown more accustomed to it I feel happy that Seattle is fortunate to have a Frank Gehry design. A talented man and it's great to see him still working and producing!
  • I just found a free Frank Gehry in Pop-up by Jinny Johnson and Roland Lewis. Someone left it in a mini-free Library in my neighborhood. Wow... what a visionary. Love these buildings... they speak a very fluid visual language.
  • Frank Gehry bringing his family into his architect firm is beautiful just like his building designs.

    I think I would enjoy getting to know this man and his family.

    Everyone should watch his Masterclass if you want to see how he develops his projects.
