“Schinkel's aesthetic was not a crudely materialistic "truth to material" affair... but rather an attempt to inform iron and other industrial materials with an appropriate beauty through the direct collaboration of the artist in the manufacturing process.” ArtistProcessMaterialsDirectAffairAppropriateIronCollaborationAestheticManufacturingMaterialistic Author:Karl Friedrich Schinkel
“Schinkel was not arbitrary in his use of historical modes but rather eclectic in the best sense of the word.
