A., noted American artist, architect, Chicago associate of Frank Lloyd Wright, lecturer and entertainer takes the platform with a brilliant and original modern chalk-talk - Sketching for You. Sketching for You is a modern chalk-talk, and, therefore, different. In a simple, highly entertaining and graphic way, Charles Morgan deals with modern art, architecture and modern life. While producing his amazing sketches in color, which he does with miraculous speed, he makes his audience laugh with him as he separates the false from the true in art and in life. He shows the growth of architecture from ancient times. He explains what the trend in modern architecture is, and that there is a difference between modern and modernistic. He deals in principles and makes no compromise with truth. Sketching is such a joy to Charles Morgan that it is the most natural thing he does.

"The Frank Lloyd Wright Testimonial Dinner Invitation." February 10, 1955. In 1954 the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Wright owed $10,000 in back taxes on Taliesin. For years he had argued that Taliesin was primarily a school and therefore tax exempt. He was so mad he threatened to destroy Taliesin and move from the state. Cary Caraway, a former apprentice suggested that Wright's friends express their appreciation and take up a collection. Mary Lescohier and Helen Groves made it happen. 380 supporters gathered in the Great Hall of the U.W. Memorial Union for a tribute. Wright took the opportunity to display the new Monona Terrace model. At the end of the program, he received a check for $10.000. "Frank Lloyd Wright's Monona Terrace", p 140.

Hixon Distinguished Service Professor (Emeritus) of Physiology, University of Chicago, etc. Dr. Carlson, Scientist and Philosopher, calls this book "a new religion, - Humanism" the credo of which is that "the responsibility for a better mental and physical world is on you and me, - on man, not on traditional gods and devils." It is a timely and significant work by a layman who has here written a book in the field of science for "the common man." This book thus points out the path which man should follow, and marks some of the vital truths he must learn to use in realizing his "high adventure." It is the flowering of the life experiences of a philosopher - lawyer, - fascinating and thought inducing. Price of book $3.00. Ralph Fletcher Seymour, Publisher, Chicago. 5.6 x 8.25. Pp 4.

"Abstract Design by Eugene Masselink of The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. The Stanford Art Gallery - April 1960. The major portion of this exhibition consists of preliminary drawings and photographs of architectural murals. As the composer has his systematic staff and intervals and the architect a modular system as the framework of design, just so has the designer the same means to coordinate abstract ornamentation with the architectural principles involved. Thus the square, the triangle, the circles as well as the straight line become a fundamental part of the design vocabulary." Two copies. Pp 4. 6 x 6. 1458.48.0415

The site of the famous house was the Kaufmann family's mountain property in the Bear Run Valley of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where they enjoy weekends and summer vacations... The key to the setting of the house is the waterfall over which it is built. The falls had been a focal point of the family's activities, and they had indicated the area around the falls as the location for a home. They were unprepared for Wright's suggestion that the house rise over the waterfall, rather than face it. But the architect's original scheme was adopted almost without change."

1996 The First National Bank of Dwight, Dwight, Illinois.  Frank Lloyd Wright, Architect. (Published by The First National Bank of Dwight, Dwight, Illinois)  Inside: In The First National Bank of Dwight, Wright created a structure that has stood the test of time and remains virtually unchanged. Initially designed to house two separate businesses, it was remodeled in the 1950's to keep abreast with modern banking conditions and the growth of the institution. The major change was the lowering of the beamed skylight ceiling in order to install air conditioning. The oak trim was removed and much of the interior limestone was covered.
     In the 1960's, the bank was remodeled again to restore the buildings original character. The dividing partition was removed to allow the bank to occupy the entire space. The original plans were used to replace the oak trim and to recreate the skylight, which is now lit through electrical means. Wright believed there was a natural and honest truth in a building's materials, the exposed brickwork, the natural strength of oak and even the exposed pillars revealing the building's structure. As a molder of form and space, Wright experienced the relationship between architecture and surrounding nature as perhaps no other architect in history, so that his buildings seem to literally grow out of their environments. 11 x 8.5.
