Adieu la P.

Constant says goodbye to Painting.

He advocates a complete synthesis between architecture and visual arts. This goal can only be achieved if the architect and the visual artist are willing to give up their specialism and serve a new type of artistry. The demands of a new aesthetic come down to the absolute unity of construction, function, form and color ("Van samenwerking naar absolute eenheid van de plastische kunsten, Forum. Maandblad voor architectuur en gebonden kunst, 10, nr. 6, juli-augustus, 1955, p. 207).
