Book by Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer Frank Lloyd Wright
When I was very young architecture was my leading likely career path I loved to draw buildings and skyscrapers and floor plans I even liked drawing city layouts and skylines So in either the third or fourth grade Wright was the subject of one of my first essay assignments I can t remember which book I read to research the piece but I m sure it was geared to young readers and very heroic because my report said nothing about Wright s inflated ego and arrogance or made much fuss about his cold abandonment of his wife and small children in order to follow his bliss Not surprisingly after becoming interested in him I started drawing low slung prairie houses in something similar to Wright s style With time my drawing activities fell off and those included the prolific and elaborate comic strip adventures I would draw and write to amuse me and my best friend Jerry Clark I still have all of my comic strips in a briefcase They still amuse me Math was not a strong point with me either so that put the ixnay on an architectural future. Book about frank lloyd wright's lover But my fascination with Wright and his work never left me and I ve started the process of finally acquiring books with ample photos of his works I grabbed this particular one as an e book and am scrolling through the PDF right now The text gives a straightforward account of his life not especially scintillating in the telling but good enough for someone becoming reacquainted with the basics This is a Taschen book so there s an inherent high quality factor Plenty of vintage and new pix of the structures and blueprints as well as portraits of the artist The philosophy innovative elements and history as well as where each building places in Wright s development are explained in short bits of prose aside original blueprints and or artist s renderings and contemporary photos of same This German and French Edition is actually written in English with translations in German and French on following pages so it s the same book as the other editions apart from that insignificant difference. Frank lloyd wright bookcase Further in Well this book is probably in spirit not much different than the one I read as a child The treatment of Wright is glowing and uncritical and puts much stock in his mumbo jumbo philosophizing about nature as the body of God and about light and art and environment and the organic whole and so on It s mainly a picture book so who cares Whether the philosophy came first to lead to the art or came after to justify it hardly changes the fact that the man was a visionary innovator and great artist in the functional realm. Frank lloyd wright nacimiento Further in observations It s wild looking at pictures of these Gibson girl era women typing at their desks in Wright s Larkin Building around 1905 where usually the setting would be an antiquated overly ornate tomb of an office or something resembling a gloomy warehouse they instead are surrounded by this ultra sleek and ultra modern backdrop The contrast from the usual is quite striking Wright s buildings were like time machines to the future contemporary people working in future space. Frank lloyd wright coffee table book This text wise is not scintillating but the presentation and the information are solid This is a decent primer to Wright and his works If you want a good bio though go elsewhere If you re interested in his works from conception execution and completion then this is a very good source and the text entries are pithy Hardcover A general overview of Wright s work with few interesting facts It also seems like the pictures chosen to be published do not really do the justice to the buildings themselves Hardcover Excellent overview book on Wright s architectural genius Written in three languages English German and French Show pictures and architectural drawings and sketches.
