Sketches of Frank Gehry

I just stumbled across this great documentary from 2005. I'm not sure how I heard about it, but I'm glad I did.

It's from director Sydney Pollack about famous architect Frank Gehry. Before seeing this I wasn't at all familiar with Gehry's work, aside from having seen a few of his buildings on TV or in movies. If you're like me and don't know who he is, he designed the Walt Disney Concert Hall (home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic) and the famous Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain (pictured below).

I don't have a lot to say about the film except that it's well worth watching. It's a unique insight into the mind of an artistic genius.
