Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is unquestionably America's most
celebrated architect. Even today, almost forty years after his
death, he continues to tower over the architectural landscape. In
fact, his career was so long and his accomplishments so varied it
can be difficult still to grasp the full range of Wright's
achievement. In this refreshing new study, Wright scholar Kathryn
Smith does just that, exploring the grace and beauty found in all
facets of Wright's work: from office desks and chairs to his first
residential commissions, from magazine cover designs to major
public buildings. The concise text and brilliant color photographs
chart Wright's entire career, beginning with his apprenticeship to
Adler and Sullivan before the turn of the century. Readers witness
the Prairie period, Wright's years in Japan and California, his
major designs of the late 1920s and 1930s, his Usonian houses, and
the monumental late works of his last decades. Smith shows examples
of Wright's drawings, furniture, and decorative arts, too,
supplementing our understanding of Wright's aesthetic. The book
concludes with a glimpse at the architect's seldom-seen collection
of Asian art, which once comprised tens of thousands of pieces - a
source of much inspiration and edification for the architect and
his students, and a key to understanding Wright's views on art and
nature. Here is a broad portrait of the master builder who sought
the title "greatest architect of all time." Although it may never
be possible to fully assess Wright's legacy, Kathryn Smith's
authoritative book is a fitting testament to his lasting genius.
