Author: Gebhard, David
Description: "A Note on the Chicago Fair of 1893 and Frank Lloyd Wright... One need not seek out obscure examples of Wright’s early work to discover several close analogies to the Turkish Exposition Building. The design which bears the closest relationship is his house for W. H. Winslow, River Forest, Illinois, designed in 1893. This dwelling has a similar overhanging roof, and a band of windows and terra cotta ornament placed directly under the eaves of the roof. Both the Turkish building and the Winslow House present a balanced and symmetrical facade dominated by an entrance area..." Includes three photographs related to Wright’s work: Winslow House, E.P. Irving House and the Cummings Real Estate Office. (Sweeney 1314)

Description: "The Early Work of the Prairie Architects. ‘I well remember’, wrote Frank Lloyd Wright while referring to the period of about 1900, ‘how "the message" burned within me, [and] how I longed for comradeship until I began to know the younger men and how welcome was Robert Spencer, and then Myron Hunt, and Dwight Perkins, Arthur Heun, George Dean, and Hugh Garden. Inspiring days they were, I am sure, for us all. In this way Wright described the years which had been so crucial in his architectural development. The decade of experiment and changes in direction which ended with the new century had finally brought his labors to fruition in the form of a personal and mature architecture. Yet this period was not one of solitude for Wright but, on the contrary, a time when several architects shared his interest and worked toward similar goals..." The article includes references to Wright. Includes one floor plan by Wright. (Sweeney 1411)

Description: Letters to the Editor. A response by G. G. Elmslie written on June 12, 1936 to Frank Lloyd Wright’s review of Morrison’s biography of Louis Sullivan which was published in the December 14, 1935 issue of The Saturday Review (Sweeney 394). A reprint of the review follows Elmslie’s letter. Elmslie: "Dear Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright: I read very belatedly with great interest your review of Professor Morrison’s biography of Louis Sullivan, as it appears in the Saturday review of December 14th. There are a few errors, preconceptions and preoccupations of mind in your comment that may be duly stated, in the interest of Truth, if that element is of any importance to you. You are the judge of that.... You, of course, are a great genius, and no one knows this better than I. But I do bespeak entrance into your mind of the still, small voice of truth, of fair play, dignity, and high honor, and the exit of your strange claims of omniscience when you come to write on a great Master and an infinitely greater man than yourself."

"This book consists of four well-written essays: Le Corbusier and the mastery of form, Mies van der Rohe and the mastery of structure, and Frank Lloyd Wright and the mastery of space. The fourth chapter, Prospect, is both a summary and prognostication... The publisher makes a familiar claim in the book jacket that this book is for both the specialist and the layman. This is not so. The Master Builders is solely an introduction for the uninitiated to some of the basic i9ssues of our contemporary physical environment65; and, as such, it is successful. This is no small accomplishment." (Sweeney 1383) Description: "Letters from Louis H. Sullivan to R. M. Schindler. Dec. 12th, ‘18. Dear Mr. Schindler, Your letter Dec. 9th recd last evening.

Description: "Steinway Hall, Architects and Dreams. Frank Lloyd Wright’s development as an architect should be traced not only in the buildings he designed but in the milieu in which he worked. In this respect his ‘associates’, as he called his turn of the century colleagues, were an important part of his Chicago environment. Through them he was exposed to new ideas, and with them he discussed problems of design... It was probably no coincidence that Wright, as a designer, reached maturity during this period; at the very least his surroundings offered welcome stimulation... Thus the group at Steinway Hall had had an influence for beyond the confines of official practice. Their activities had done much to establish a climate for expression, a milieu which proved congenial and beneficial to several of their number, and to non more than to Frank Lloyd Wright."

Description: "Frank Lloyd Wright’s Years of Modernism, 1925-1935. Through almost five years, 1925-1929, the very air Frank Lloyd Wright breathed was thick with catastrophe. His home, Taliesin, was once again fully destroyed by fire. Debts drove him to the verge of bankruptcy. Hysterical persecutions pursued him and the new, beloved family who were to remain close to him for the long rest of his life. These blackest years were survived only through personal love and a secure sense of creative accomplishment. This accomplishment was posited, in 1925, on the sumptuous pages of Wendingen. Soon, at the urging of his wide, Wright started to evoke his childhood, beginning A Autobiography..." Republished in "9 Commentaries on Frank Lloyd Wright," 1989.

William C. Gannett, The House Beautiful, designed and illustrated by Frank Lloyd Wright, facsimile of the 1897 edition, Park Forest, Illinois: The Prairie School Press, 1963, 54 pp., illus. $22.50
As an author Frank Lloyd Wright was extremely prolific. His activity in this field was second only to that of his architectural practice, with some dozen books appearing under his name, as well as countless articles. Most of this writing was done after he passed his sixtieth year, with only four books dating from earlier in his career. Of these only one, the exceptionally sympathetic and appreciative The Japanese Print, an Interpretation of 1912 (which, unfortunately, remains virtually unknown), is a book significant for its text. The other three are important primarily as a record of Wright's designs, yet each in a different way. The first records his interest in the decorative arts, rather than architecture, since Wright designed the marginal decorations and assisted with the layout and printing.
The second was a folio of drawings illustrating his architectural work, while the third documented many of these buildings in photographs.
The first two of these books have now been reprinted and are the subject of the present review. The earliest dates from the winter of 1896-1897 when Frank Lloyd Wright and William H. Winslow collaborated in the publishing of William C. Gannett's little essay entitled The House Beautiful which, though ostensibly...” (Sweeney 19 & 88)

Description: "Crisis and Creativity: Frank Lloyd Wright, 1904-1914. What happens when creative work is crossed by personal crisis? Individual case histories, frequent enough in biographic literature, tend toward special pleasing with scant factual evidence. It seemed possible to avoid these shortcomings, somewhat, while looking at the life and works of Frank Lloyd Wright around the time of his first marital break and first trip to Europe, 1909-1910. Wright's early architecture has been amply studied: disagreement about which of the buildings are capital achievements is slight..."

Viollet-le-Duc's words became a cardinal influence in the formation of Wright’s architectural philosophy. Even in his ninetieth year, Wright spoke of their impact. That the words of Viollet-le-Duc should have commanded the attention of Wright – even before he reached the milieu of the Chicago School, where functional and organic tenets were widely discussed – is ion no way curious..."

During the decade Aline Barnsdall called upon Wright to design for her 45 buildings, of which two were major theaters (one for Chicago, one for Olive Hill); two were her own residence (one for Olive Hill, one for Beverly Hills); 16 were stores; 21 we're houses; 1 was an apartment building; 1 an entrance pavilion; 1 a motion picture theater; and 1 a play house-kindergarten. In addition, he designed a master plan for her property that included the majority of these buildings and anticipated his later theories of planning as developed in Broadacres City. These buildings span the range of Wright’s designs from the late Prairie House to the fully worked out textile block system for concrete..." Includes 30 photographs and illustrations.

Description: 1) "The Century's Triumph in Lighting": The Luxfer Prism Companies and their Contribution to Early Modem Architect. "To characterize this new prism as one of the most remarkable improvements of the century in its bearing on practical architecture, is to speak but mildly. In the opinion of some of the foremost architects of this country the Luxfer prism is destined to work an entire revolution in planning and to necessitate very extensive changes in construction." The building material that was so enthusiastically praised by the Inland Architect in 1897, and shortly after was even proclaimed to be the "century's triumph in lighting," was indeed about to have a considerable impact on the commercial architecture of America's urban centers... The company hired the young Chicago architect Frank Lloyd Wright as a product designer, whose office at that time was on the same floor of the Rookery Building in Chicago as that of the Luxfer Prism Company... At least one of Wright's patented designs was mass-produced and can still be found on storefronts throughout the United States... Frank Lloyd Wright is mentioned extensively throughout the article. Includes 30 photographs and illustrations.
