number of periodicals, but this was the first of Wright’s writings to be
published. Wright was thirty years old. "A ‘Home’ may be the noblest of
all works of art, and comprise in its entirety the quality and beauty of
the most perfect of its artistic units... Go to Nature, consider her
ways. Let you home appear to grow easily from its site, and shape it to
sympathize with the surroundings..." Original cover price 25c. 8 x

"Notes From the
Congress." "The closing day of the Congress was a perfect symphony...
Mr. Frank L. Wright’s ‘Art in the Home’ was a summary of actual
experiences gained, from many years of labor in his chosen profession.
Many of us have not learned that architecture means the home and its
furnishings, but Mr. Wright opened the doorway into a complete
symphony of architectural thought in which the family requirements
formed the central force." Original cover price 25c. 8 x 11.25. |
