The lecture is about the MYTH of Coral Gables, as created by Denman and George Fink (uncle and cousin of George Merrick).
The Mediterranean Revival was the creation in Florida of a mythical past that came from the imagination of a number of architects. These individuals, starting with Addison Mizner, manufactured a non-existent past out of a recreation of European models freely translated and re-interpreted. It was a continuation of a movement that had originally started in California evolving through the Mission Style and gradually evolving into a style that created a history and a tradition that is Mediterranean Revival. These architects (Willis Polk, AC Schweinfurth, and in particular Bertram Goodhue) took from Europe and from Latin American Baroque to create a tradition separated by hundreds of years from the actual Spanish Conquest.

The presentation will focus on the myths that were created through drawings by these architects, and in particular by the painter Denman Fink in Coral Gables.
Gelabert Navia will also feature his sketches of Coral Gables and his own “Grand Tour” of Italy and New Mexico.
