Description: "Coonley House. ‘The most successful of my houses’, wrote Wright in his autobiography, on the subject of Coonley House at Riverside; remembering with pleasure that he had been commissioned by the owners to design it because they had glimpsed in is work ‘the countenance of principle’... Speaking at Princeton in 1930 ha said: ‘A house, we like to believe, is in statu quo a noble consort to man and the trees; therefore the house should have repose and such texture as will quiet the whole and make it graciously at one with external nature’." Includes 10 photographs by Antonio Mulas. Description: "Wright at Oak Park... Starting from a generally neo-medievalist source, but sensitive also to the legacy of the local Shingle Style tradition, Wright combined their linguistic etyms and his own desire for innovation. Despite his later biographical reconstruction, he drew out their new architecture slowly and ‘organically’ from the tormented cocoon of conventional language, traditional revival and stylisms of memory." Includes 18 photographs and illustration. Photographs by Carlo Santi. Original cover price $9.50.

Author:
Gutheim, Frederick

Description: Published in Russian. Not dated. The latest date published in the articles in this issue is 1959. "On April 9, 1959, at the age of ninety, Frank Lloyd Wright died. The great American architect died in an Arizona hospital near his famous Taliesin West winter residence. Wright's activities, spanning nearly three quarters of a century, earned him worldwide fame, and everywhere his death caused deep sorrow. World critics have compared Wright even with such great masters as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, and the Italian magazine L'Architettura sadly asked: "Can you imagine architecture without Frank Lloyd Wright?" This question is especially pertinent to pose in relation to the young generation of American architects who, after being carried away by the constructive purism of Mies van der Rohe, again returns to Wright's attitudes of "organic architecture." Without denying the influence of the environment and the functionality of the building, Wright nevertheless focused on architectural structures and forms, Born in Wisconsin, Wright began..."

Author: Crawford, Alan

Description: "Ten letters from Frank Lloyd Wright to Charles Robert Ashbee. The friendship between Frank Lloyd Wright and Charles Robert Ashbee has been noticed in connection with Ashbee's introduction to Frank Lloyd Wright: Ausgefurte Bauten. The following letters, found an Ashbee's journals, add to our knowledge of this friendship; then perhaps to a sense of its intellectual complexity. Ashbee first met Wright at some time in late November or early December 1900. He was impressed, and wrote in his journal: Wright is to my thinking far and away the ablest man in our line of work that I have come across in Chicago, perhaps in America. He not only has ideas, but the power of expressing them, & his Husser house over which he took me, showing me every detail with the keenest delight, is one of the most beautiful and the most individual of creations that I have seen in America…" Includes one photograph.

Description: Book Review: The Future of Architecture. Przysztosc Architektury (The Future of Architecture). Wydawnictwo "The Architectural Press", Londyn 1955 r. (Publishing house "The Architectural Press", London 1955.)
       The Future of Architecture was published in 1953. A British edition was published by the Architecural Press, London, in 1955.
       Polish text: Ksizka ta skupia w jednym tomie rózne prace pisane autora, rozizucone po licznych wydawnictwach, dzis prewaznie wyczerpanych. Na stepie siazki najdujemy obserna „rozmowe z przyjacielem" na tematy architektoniczne, dalej cykl wykladów w Princenton (1930 r.), w Chicago (1931 r.), w Londynie (1939 r.), a w koncu dwa artykuly: o pewnych as-pektach architektury przysziosci oraz o architekturze bedacej wyrazem wlasnych dazen Wrighta, która on sam nazwal „architektura organiczna". Nie kuszac sie o streszczenie nader bogatego i rói-norodnego materialu ksiazki, przytaczamy z niej szereg charakterystycznych fragmentw. Uderza w nich wielki radykalizm F. L. Wrighta, jego bezkompromisowost, a przede wszystkim subiektywna ocena architektury epok minionych. Moga one bu-dzie rózne zastrzezenia, lecz na pewno warto sie z nimi zapozna jako z pogladami czlowieka, którego wydawcy nie wahali sie nazwa najwiekszym sposród zyjacych architektów...
       English translation: This book brings together in one volume the author's various written works, scattered across numerous publications, now almost out of print. What follows is an extensive "conversation with a friend" on the topic series of lectures in Princenton (1930), in Chicago (1931), in London (1939), and finally two articles: on certain aspects of the architecture of the future and on the architecture being an expression of Wright's own aspirations, which he himself called "organic architecture". Without attempting to summarize the book's extremely rich and diverse material, we quote a number of characteristic fragments from it. They are struck by F. L. Wright's great radicalism, his uncompromising attitude, and, above all, his subjective assessment of the architecture of past eras. They may raise various objections, but it is certainly worth getting acquainted with them as the views of a man whose publishers did not hesitate to call him the greatest living architect...
       Includes a portrait of Frank Lloyd Wright and four photographs and one illustration of his work. Original cover price ZL 20.

The History of Modern Architecture. In the mid-twenties, J.J.P. Oud wrote in a Wendingen-Augabe: "Although I am deeply convinced of the relativity of all appreciation in art, where contemporaries or persons very near to us are concerned, yet in my opinion the figure of Frank Lloyd Wright towers so assuredly above the surrounding world, that I make bold to call him one of the very greatest of this time without fearing that a later generation will have to reject this verdict..."

You have all my participation. I am with you in my spirit; for in you alone lies hope and the only sign of dawn that I can see, which will lead to a day that can regenerate an art that should, could and must be the noblest, the most intimate, the most expressive, the most eloquent of all the arts..."

Description: "Maisons De Verre pour riches Americains..." Glass Houses for Wealthy Americans. Two giants dominate contemporary architecture: Le Corbusier (Réalités of February 1950) and the American Frank Lloyd Wright. One and the other are joined by the rational use of modern materials, by the systematic search for air, sun and light, and by the large windows that bring the space inside the house. They are distinguished by the fact that Le Corbusier was an idealist who thought in terms of collective dwellings, while Frank Lloyd Wright focused above all on creating individual dwellings, of which we will find in these pages three examples among his most remarkable successes ( Color photos Ezra Stoller)...
