JOŽE PLEČNICK

1872  Laibach - 1957 Ljubljana, Slovenia

‘Now that everything is decided. I am quite calm. My only regret is that I do not have fifth of the millions of Czech crowns I am supposed to have, for I wish I could build in a really beautiful place  ̶  a great vaulted hall  ̶  full of exotic flowers. Senseless to wait, empty dreams  ̶  I shall continue to live among the suffocating bourgeoisie, running back and forth between small houses  ̶  until death sticks out a foot and trips me up'.

Jože Plečnik to his brother, 1926
