Frank Lloyd Wright Graphic Artist

While his contribution to architecture is universally acknowledged, until now Wright's graphic art has been largely overlooked. Author Penny Fowler discusses Wright's work in this area in the context of such art movements as Arts and Crafts, Bauhaus, and De Stijl. Fowler focuses on Wright's designs in books (The House Beautiful and An Autobiography) as well as his work on the Wasmuth Portfolio and his mural designs for Midway Gardens and the Imperial Hotel. Covers Wright created for Liberty magazine are also discussed, considered too radical a departure from the trends of his time to have been published.A succinct review of this important aspect of the architect's work, the ten chapters in the book are amply illustrated and carefully annotated. Exhibitions and publications are included in the last chapter.Fowler, Penny is the author of 'Frank Lloyd Wright Graphic Artist' with ISBN 9780764920172 and ISBN 0764920170.
