Author: Howard, Hugh; Photographed by Straus, Roger III
Description: The buildings 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. Wright for Wright 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. (Dust Jacket) First Edition. Original HC List Price $50.00. Two copies.

Description: Stamped on verso: "Apr 26, 85." Clipping pasted to verso: "Talk about architecture and sooner or later you come down to Frank Lloyd Wright. Love him or hate him, you cannot ignore the nation’s most influential architect. Much of the world around us is composed of images inspired by him. ‘Frank Lloyd Wright exploded the concept of how a house should be laid out. He was the one who completed the liberation of people’s thinking every room had to have four walls and a door,’ said Michael Herschensohn, acting director of the Chicago Architectural Foundation. ‘People doing residential design in the United States after 1908 either were rejecting Frank Lloyd Wright or interpreting his ideas in some form,’ Herschensohn said. ‘He also trained a number of architects who went on and preached his dogma.’ The first stage of that dogma was defined during the 20 years Wright lived in Oak Park, using his brown shingled home as a laboratory of building blocks to work out what he wanted to say about building houses." Caption pasted to verso: "In 1898, Frank Lloyd Wright decided he was tired of commuting to downtown Chicago to do his work. That was when he added the studio wing to his Oak Park home. He would head to the studio late at night whenever inspiration struck." Acquired from the archives of the Chicago Sun Times.

Description: “Playroom 1895. Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio Oak Park, Illinois. Frank Lloyd Wright architect" (Published exclusively for the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio Foundation, 951 Chicago Avenue, Oak Park, Illinois 60302) FLLW-29 #36127805 (Pub. By H. K. Barnett, 915 Cedar Crest Ct., Wexford, PA 15090) Designed by Wright for the use of his six children, the playroom is a brilliant example of how he would play with space. But as expansive as it is, the room is really scaled and built for children. The mural by Giannini depicts the Wright children’s favorite story of the Genie and the Fisherman from the Arabian Nights.

Description: “Frank Lloyd Wright Studio 1898.

By H. K. Barnett, 915 Cedar Crest Ct., Wexford, PA 15090) Combining his home and work life, in 1898 Wright added this studio complex to his 1889 home. The bold geometric exterior forms are clearly expressive of the interior spaces - a two-story draughting room with suspended balcony (left), reception hall and office (center), and private octagonal library (right).
