Items related to Frank Lloyd Wright; Designing Democratic America: Part...
Though having achieved considerable fame, by 1909 [Frank Lloyd] Wright recognized the failure of Prairie architecture. He went to Europe and produced the Wasmuth Portfolio, his celebration of and epitaph to the Prairie School. Frank Lloyd Wright; Designing Democratic American Architecture is about the ascension from Prairie to Usonian, Wright’s Democratic American architecture, and its fulfillment of Wright’s dream. It draws heavily upon the reference standard The Frank Lloyd Wright Companion but, in arranging the materials around design themes, makes what in the Companion is often technical, here open to the neophyte. Yet, in its approach to Wright’s source of creativity, it offers new insights to the best-read Wrightian.
