Becaus I found these notes in my notebook:
"For Aalto, wood, rather than metal, was the 'form-inspiring, deeply human material'." [I think from a sign in some museum.]
Aalto, early 1960s: "Churches don't need art, churches don't need ornament...at least not in the sense of 'art for churches'...Whatever their shape, they need purity of form and piety. That kind of purity of form is...the outcome of artistic work."
