Synopsis Frank Lloyd Wright--the Lost Years, 1910-1922 by : Anthony Alofsin
New definition to the little-known work Wright produced during this period, which he describes as Wright's primitivist phase. He traces this influence in his art through Wright's explorations of primitivist sources, innovations in sculpture, and an intensification of the architect's use of ornament. Less tangible, but as important, was Wright's view of himself, his art, and society, and Alofsin uncovers the European impact on the architect's image of himself as a.

Synopsis Frank Lloyd Wright in New York by : Jane King Hession
'Frank Lloyd wright in New York: The Plaza Years, 1954-1959', examines the momentous five-year period when one of the world's greatest architects and one of the world's greatest cities coexisted. Authors Jane Hession and Debra Prickel bring each of these unequalled characters to life, exploring the fascinating contradiction between Wright's often-voiced disdain of New York and his pride and pleasure of living in one of the city's greatest landmarks: the Plaza Hotel. From his suite, or 'Taliesin the Third', as it became known, Wright supervised construction of the Guggenheim, sparred with the New York press, and received many famous vistitors such as Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller. home...;Michael Carroll, a renowned astronomical and paleo artist for more than twenty years, has done work for NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. His art has appeared in many magazines, including 'Time', 'National Geographic', 'Sky & Telescope', and ' Asimov's Science Fiction'. One of his paintings flew aboard MIR; another is resting at the bottom of the Atlantic, aboard Russia's ill-fated Mars 96 spacecraft. nd development without constraining

Frank Lloyd Wright's foray into affordable housing--the American System-Built Homes--is frequently overlooked. When Nicholas and Angela Hayes became stewards of one of them, they began to unearth evidence that revealed a one-hundred-year-old fiasco fueled by competing ambitions and conflicting visions that eventually gave way to Wright's most creative period.

Synopsis Frank Lloyd Wright by : Barry Bergdoll
Published in conjunction with a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this catalogue reveals new perspectives on the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, a designer so prolific and familiar as to nearly preclude critical reexamination. Structured as a series of inquiries into the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives, the book is a collection of scholarly explorations rather than an attempt to construct a master narrative. Each chapter centers on a key object from the archive that an invited author has "unpacked"-interpreting and contextualizing it, tracing its meanings and connections, and juxtaposing it with other works from the archive, from MoMA, or from outside collections. The publication aims to open up Wright's work to questions, interrogations, and debates, and to highlight interpretations by contemporary scholars, both established Wright experts and others considering this iconic figure from new and illuminating perspectives.

Synopsis The Atlas of Frank Lloyd Wright by : Alex Hook
When Frank Lloyd Wright died in 1959 at the venerable age of 91 he was the most famous architect in the United States. During his long career--over 70 years--he designed over a thousand buildings, almost all of them for clients in North America. Of these around half--532--were completed and most of these, 409 in total, still exist, 17 of them recognized by the American Institute of Architects to be primary examples of his architectural contribution to American culture. Of the 17, Fallingwater is frequently viewed as the greatest piece of architecture in American history.His prodigious output is all the more surprising when one considers how few of his projects reached completion in the first quarter of the 20th century. Much of the reason for this paucity of commissions was his lifestyle. Frank Lloyd Wright led a colorful life full of conflict and controversy, particularly in his personal affairs. He left his first wife and children for the wife of one of his clients. After she and her children had been hacked to death by their deranged cook, his next wife was a morphine addict. He would end his days with a Bosnian Serb aristocrat 33 years his younger.Frank Lloyd Wright thoroughly enjoyed being a celebrity, he loved making special appearances and giving interviews. At the time his self-promotion--and, during World War II his pacificism--made him as many enemies as admirers. But he was untroubled by self doubt, and today his character is irrelevant: his work speaks for itself. In spite of his very human weaknesses, his work helped give American architecture an identity of its own, free from the constraints of the Old World. No longer an imitation of European style, U.S. architecture evolved its unique style in the 20th century, and Wright played a key role in this.The Atlas of Frank Lloyd Wright examines a hundred of his finest buildings, state-by-state. From his earliest work in Chicago, most of the key buildings are covered including: Fallingwater, the Californian textile-block houses--Storer, Ennis, Barsndall and his Oak Park Home and Studio; both Jacobs houses, the Robie House and the Taliesin complex.
