I am in Frankfurt am Main for almost three days, laying over on my way to Addis Ababa, where I will spend most of the next two months on a university grant. Today I walked around the small but attractive inner-city of Frankfurt and was inspired to work on abstracts using the architectural features of the city, as seen in this close-up of one of the larger skyscrapers in the city. Frankfurt is, I am told, the only German city really possessed of a skyline, as the civic centre, like so many of the ‘historic’ buildings around the town, is entirely constructed post-war.
