- Note
- One of Lawrences finest buildings, the Museum of Art combines an exotic blend of Modernistic, oriental and european styles which is unique in Lawrence's work. (He refered to the meeting of eastern and western civilizations on the Pacific coast .) The plain boldly massed rear resulted when only the 1st stage was built ; Lawrence thought it would look "a fright" without the unbuilt wings, but Frank Lloyd Wright praised the rear during his visit to the campus in 1931. The peaceful courtyard, a memorial to President P.L.Campbell, assembles artwork by faculty students of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts--including Richard Bock who created much of Frank Lloyd Wrights early architectural sculpture . The building is significant for its early use of innovative features which later became widely used in museums: the lack of exterior windows, and artificial lighting and ventilation. The Museum of Art was built by public donations to house the Murray Warner collection of oriental art. Quoted from: Ellis Lawrence Building Survey.
