From Library Journal
This volume contains the last ten years of the writings of Frank Lloyd Wright (1869-1959)-including the famous works "The Natural House" (1954), "A Testament" (1957), and "The Living City" (1958)-which are a mixture of rehashed ideas, the reworkings of earlier published pieces, and fanciful explorations into the concepts of truth and beauty. Little new is revealed to the Wrightian scholar by these later works. Yet this last volume cannot be dismissed. As one reads these essays, earlier thoughts and beliefs of Wright, first discovered in the earlier volumes, regularly reemerge and remind the reader of Wright, great influence in art and architecture. Ultimately, this book's value lies in its comprehensiveness (even the banal is included). Together with the four preceding volumes (Vol. 1, LJ 9/1/92; Vol. 2, LJ 2/15/93; Vol. 3, 1994; Vol. 4, 1994), this is indispensable to any scholar of American art or architecture or student of Wright's philosophy. Recommended as a set for public and academic libraries.
