Front Street Boogie-woogie

Front Street Boogie-woogie
Toronto

Another shot that seems to me to have been inspired by Mondrian's Broadway Boogie-woogie, even though there's little resemblance. rdhinmn's suggestion that it was inspired by Escher appeals to me, too, though.

Vertiginous, when I try to "read" the planes of the photo. The center strip of windows wants to shift back and forth between being a wall between the old and new buildings and stretching away from the balconied corner, down an alleyway. Escher would have approved.

I see that now; didn;t before. Thanks, Bob, for pointing it out.

I guess that's a disadvantage of being familiar with the buildings -- and with something else in the photo that is not a building. I won't say what it is because that might spoil the effect.

Obviously I thought of Mondrian here, but I think you're right and it is closer to Escher.

Everything in Toronto is being replaced by tall buildings, it seems, Gisela.
