| | Art-Toward-Architecture |
 | | As a point of departure, for studying mural painting and its relation to architecture, I have chosen Renaissance Italy of the 14th century particularly because it was in Italy that a synthesis developed between painting and architecture. |
 | | His intense awareness that architecture sets up certain statement of its own which dictate somewhat the partial development of a mural composition, is revealed by his reaction on being informed that the previously quoted wall dimensions were slightly off. |
 | | All elements in architecture are composed of vertical and horizontal movements, i.e., steel mullion and glass, door frames, doors, cabinets, bricks, lights, etc. the problem in composition here is to relate the enclosure to the painting while at the same time retaining the distinctive individuality of the canvas. |
