jose thenee

architectural artifacts, 4325 n. ravenswood avenue in chicago, had a comprehensive exhibit (ironwork and drawings) recently of jose thenee's work. thenee was an ironworker from argentina. amazing work, beautiful in it's detail, proportion and expression. they had an entire wall covered in his drawings, put me right over the edge. just beautiful.
