Cladirile atat de unice ale lui Oscar Niemeyer le stie aproape toata lumea (cei din domeniu cu siguranta) dar modelele de Converse realizate de Niemeyer la 104 ani care s-au lansat pe 23 octombrie, le stie toate lumea?
Mai jos este un citat de Oscar Niemeyer (15 dec. 1907-05 dec. 2012) care defineste opera sa intreaga.
"It is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve – the curve that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuous course of its rivers, in the body of the beloved woman." (Oscar Niemeyer)
