Wright Studies

Touring a Wright home is like walking through a piece of three dimensional artwork. It surrounds you. It touches your senses. The merging of interior and exterior mediums is remarkable. It touches the soul. Like other creative and artistic geniuses such as Picasso and Dylan, Wright constantly evolved. Moving from one period to the next. Even designing the Moore Residence, but never another in that style. While others spent their careers copying and
elaborating on the Prairie style, Wright moved on.

Wright designs can be described, analyzed, explored and studied in so many ways. What we would like to touch on are the details. Whether it is the details of his stained glass windows and fixtures, to his perforated wood cut light screens to his mitered glass corners, his details are ingenious. I am always overwhelmed when I see the complexity of the Dana Butterfly light fixture. His imaginative use of material and space. Doors that open outward. Cantilevered roofs. Corner doors that when opened, remove corners. His details are endless.
