Frank Lloyd Wright: Masterworks Postcard Book

Pomegranate Europe Ltd [Published date: 1999]. Postcard booklet, 30 postcards. [From back cover] If contradictions make for interesting people, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was surely one of this century's most fascinating Americans. Wright the modernist was also Wright the romantic, iconoclast, and champion of the individual, and the products of his contradictory sensibility offer a sassy repudiation of his European contemporaries' chilly, Everyman modernism. His genius for architectural synthesis revolutionized his field; a hundred years after his earliest solo commissions, Wrights designs have become so entwined in the vocabulary of American architecture that we take his radical innovations for granted. This book of postcards presents thirty of Frank Lloyd Wright's most significant buildings, conveyed in elegant architectural drawings from the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives at Taliesin West.
