Lloyd Wright: The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright Jr.

0/5 ( ratings)

Gorgeously illustrated with new color photographs, this is the first definitive look at the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, Jr. , known as Lloyd Wright, who had a long, successful, but generally overlooked career in Southern California. Writer Anais Nin, who knew Lloyd Wright in the 1940s, wrote, "He is a poet of architecture. For him a building, a home, a stone, a roof, every inch of architecture has meaning".For the last 10 years, internationally renowned architectural photographer Alan Weintraub has been painstakingly documenting Lloyd Wright's exquisite buildings in superb detail. More than 590 images, most published here for the first time, reveal how Lloyd Wright masterfully fused landscape with built form, creating beautiful syntheses of nature, Southern Californian modernism, and the exotic influences of Japan and South America.

Thirty-one of Wright's finest works, mostly residences built in and around Los Angeles, are featured extensively, and an exhaustive reference section includes an illustrated chronology with Wright's own archival sketches.
