About This Item
New York, NY: Rizzoli, 2001. Hardcover. VG (first page carries lavish signature of architect-former owner; slight foxing to edge of book block; surfaces are clean.). Dark salmon stamped cloth, black & red & color illus. dust jacket, 160 pp., color illus. "The building of Frank Lloyd Wright exercise a kind of architectural magic on the people who visit them, inspiring a sense of wonder at their visual elements, dramatic energy, and ingenious compositional features. These qualities are no more evident than in the buildings that Wright designed for himself and his family. [This] is the first book to focus exclusively on these seven houses and ten other structures. Free from the constraints of the client-architect relationship, the buildings present Wright at his unfettered best. Photographed for the first time in exquisite. full-color panoramic views by longtime Wright photographer Roger Straus, these images capture the buildings as part of the landscape -- the way Wright envisioned them. As well, Hugh Howard's insightful text reveals an intimate understanding of the great architect's art and philosophy." (dj) Uncommon.
