Frank Lloyd Wright

Publisher: Rizzoli International Publications
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
"The mid-twentieth century was one of the most productive and inventive periods in Frank Lloyd Wright's career, producing such masterworks as the Guggenheim Museum, Price Tower, Fallingwater, the Usonian Houses, and the Lovness House, as well as a vast array of innovative furniture and object design. With a wide variety of shapes and forms-ranging from honeycombs to spirals-this period defies simplistic definition. Simplicity, democratic designs, and organic forms characterize Mid-Century Modern, and, mentoring such mid-century talents as Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler among others, Wright was one of its most influential proponents. Frank Lloyd Wright: Mid-Century Modern is a comprehensive examination of an under-explored period in Wright's career, a time dating from roughly 1935 to 1958, during which this master architect was at his most daring and innovative."--Jacket

Pages : 0
Book Description
Wright Panorama amplifies the artistry of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture with expanse. In the more than 140 Tom Schiff panoramic photographs contained in Wright Panorama, Schiff reveals nearly eighty extant buildings in Wright's oeuvre from a unique perspective. Wright Panorama exhibits the great architect's prolific, varied, and iconic body of work, pulling from it a new shape and offering it renewed appeal. Eric Lloyd Wright's compelling foreword to Wright Panorama introduces Tom Schiff and four noteworthy Frank Lloyd Wright scholarsCara Armstrong, Scott W. Perkins, Margo Stipe, and Marta Wojcik. Since Wright's architecture embraced his strong belief in and respect for Nature, these scholars draw from this and contribute essays from a new nature-centric perspective. They further our understanding of the ways each of the natural elementsearth, air, fire, and water influences Wright's life and work. In addition, these four essays utilize Schiff 's images to more fully illustrate the involvement of the natural elements on Wright's organic architecture. In his preface to Wright Panorama, Schiff conveys his desire to acknowledge the "true" as well as extend our framework of seeing, of vision. Schiff likes that his panoramic photography is "true to the landscape as seen by the naked eye" and is both "expansive" and "challenging." He sees the resulting panoramic image in Wright Panorama as "a unique way to see Frank Lloyd Wright's interiors and exteriors, from all vantage points, in one image." Wright Panorama is a continual discovery: A new way of viewing, a new way of discovering the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.
