Prairie School: Frank Lloyd Wright and his midwest contemporaries
by
Call Number: 9780802052513ISBN: 9780802052513Publication Date: 1972-01-01The Prairie School was a regional manifestation of the international revolt and reform that occurred in the visual arts during the early years of the twentieth century. The members of the movement sought to achieve a fresh architectural expression. Their designs were characterized by precise, angular forms and highly sophisticated interior arrangements--an approach that proved immensely significant in residential architecture. Drawing on unpublished material and original documentation as well as on interviews, the author assesses each architect's contribution and traces the course of the movement itself--how and why it came into existence, what it achieved, and what caused its abrupt end. -

Frank Lloyd Wright's Wisconsin : how America's most famous architect found inspiration in his home
by
ISBN: 9781493069156Publication Date: 2023-06-01America's most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, was born in 1867 in the rolling hills of Richland Center, Wisconsin, to a family of Unitarians. Even with world-class commissions like New York City's Guggenheim Museum, his organic architecture remains rooted in Wisconsin's landscape, from affordable-housing prototypes in Milwaukee to his summer home and architecture school in rural Spring Green. This is comprehensive guide to Wright's designs (and those of his protégés) that are open to the public--as well as insider historical information about sites now demolished, and those available for "drive-bys" only. -
Fallingwater Rising: Frank Lloyd Wright, E.J. Kaufmann, and America's most extraordinary house
by
ISBN: 9781400040261Publication Date: 2003-09-30Fallingwater Rising is a biography not of a person but of the most famous house of the twentieth century. Fallingwater Rising shows us how E. J. Kaufmann’s house became not just Wright’s masterpiece but a fundamental icon of American life. One of the pleasures of the book is its rich evocation of the upper-crust society of Pittsburgh–Carnegie, Frick, the Mellons–a society that was socially reactionary but luxury-loving and baronial in its tastes, hobbies, and sexual attitudes (Kaufmann had so many mistresses that his store issued them distinctive charge plates they could use without paying). -
