Description: A Transcript of the Addresses and Exchanges Between Frank Lloyd Wright & Thomas Hart Benton, Providence, Rhode Island, November 11, 1932. "...I remember, as case in point, the second house I was asked to build. The first house I built was the Winslow House – it was a radical house, radical in true sense of the term. But my next – second – client came to me with a small illustration in his hand which he had cut out of some English magazine – with a picture of a very charming English half-timbered house one of your Eastern architects had built... ‘We would like to have you build our house, but I don’t want to go down the back streets in the morning to get to the train in order to avoids being laughed at by my neighbors...’ " (First Edition) Gift from Kathryn Smith.

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright & Ralph Waldo Emerson: Transforming The Amer Mind (Hard Cover - DJ) (Published by Louisiana State University Press, Baton Rouge, Louisiana)
Author: Rahmani, Ayad
Description: Dust Jacket: Frank Lloyd Wright and Ralph Waldo Emerson: Transforming the American Mind is an interdisciplinary volume of literary and cultural scholarship that examines the link between two pivotal intellectual and artistic figures. It probes the degree to which the transcendentalist author influenced the architect’s campaign against dominant strains of American thought. Inspired by Emerson’s writings on the need to align exterior expression with interior self, Wright believed that architecture was not first and foremost a matter of accommodating spatial needs, but a tool to restore intellectual and artistic freedom, too often lost in the process of modernization.
Ayad Rahmani shows that Emerson’s writings provide an avenue for interpreting Wright’s complex approach to country and architecture. The two thinkers cohered around a common concern for a nation derailed by nefarious forces that jeopardized the country’s original promise. In Emerson’s condemnations of slavery and inequality, Wright found inspiration for seeking redress against the humiliations suffered by the modern worker, be it at the hands of an industrial manager or an office boss. His designs sought to challenge dehumanizing labor practices and open minds to the beauty and science of agriculture and the natural world. Emerson’s example helped Wright develop architecture that aimed less at accommodating a culture of clients and more at raising national historical awareness while also arguing for humane and equitable policies.
Frank Lloyd Wright and Ralph Waldo Emerson presents a new approach to two vital thinkers whose impact on American society remains relevant to this day. Original list price $49.95. (First Edition)

Title: Antoni Gaudi and Frank Lloyd Wright (Soft Cover) (Published by Charles Livers Editors)
Author: Charles Livers Editors
Description: Halfway into the 19th century, Spain's Catalonia underwent a sweeping transformation when it was thrust into not one, but 2 golden eras – the Renaixença and the Industrial Revolution. It was during this explosive period of creativity, thriving prosperity, and invigorated patriotism that a steadfastly nonconforming and fascinatingly eccentric icon was born, one that was about to take Catalonia by storm with his brilliant eye for unorthodox art and his legendary – or as some would say, notoriously – out-of-the-box ideas. Salvador Dalí... Across the pond, America’s most innovative and prolific architect was Frank Lloyd Wright, whose works are almost too vast and diverse to list. Recognized for designing unique churches and distinctive commercial buildings, and admired for his geometric style house designs, Wright has been widely imitated, and his work continues to influence architecture not only in the United States but around the world. Laymen often think they know the definition of "a Frank Lloyd Wright," but they probably don’t fully understand the brilliant mind of the man, nor the intricacies of his Prairie Style. Yet it endures because he has made it so. (First Edition)

WRIGHT & JOHNSON Date: 2016
Title: Architecture’s Odd Couple, Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by Bloomsbury Press, New York)
Author: Hugh, Howard
Description: Dust jacket. “In architectural terms, the twentieth century can be largely summed up with two names: Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson. Wright (1867–1959) began it with his romantic prairie style; Johnson (1906–2005) brought down the curtain with his spare postmodernist experiments. Between them, they built some of the most admired and discussed buildings in American history.
Differing radically in their views on architecture, Wright and Johnson shared a restless creativity, enormous charisma, and an outspokenness that made each man irresistible to the media. Often publicly at odds, they were the twentieth century's flint and steel; their repeated encounters consistently set off sparks. Yet as acclaimed historian Hugh Howard shows, their rivalry was also a fruitful artistic conversation, one that yielded new directions for both men. It was not despite but rather because of their contentious--and not always admiring--relationship that they were able so powerfully to influence history...” Original hard cover list price $28.00.

Author: Blake, Peter
Description: This British edition is not a copy of the American edition. Different size, different plates, same text.
Dust jacket: Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright: these three, the greatest names in twentieth-century architecture, are the "Master builders" of this most important and absorbing book. These three, more than any of their colleagues, are the men responsible for the changing face of the cities of today. The United Nations building in New York or the UNESCO headquarters in Paris would not have been conceivable without them; nor would the great glass facades of our modern department stores and office blocks, the precincts for pedestrians in the new towns, the curvilinear, shell-formed structure of many of our new buildings, the "open plan" house, the spreading, asymmetrical pattern of modern schools and hospitals with their emphasis on light and space. Indeed, virtually no modern building constructed today would look the way it does but for the work of one or more of these three great seminal influences.
And - what is of even greater significance - they stand above their contemporaries not only as influences but as artists. "All three", Mr. Blake writes, "had a sort of poetic vision of the whole truth as they saw it. and in trying to give form to this poetic... 102 illustrations. (First Edition) (Sweeney 1379)

Description: "At the approach of the Twentieth Century a few of the leading architects and designers were calling for a return to nature as the guiding force in the construction and ornamentation of buildings and their furnishings... Wright’s use of ornament became increasingly restrained. Everything was symbolic. The circle represented infinity, the triangle structural unity, and the square integrity. The color red was the source of life. Wright’s personal insignia was a red square probably derived from the seal of ‘chop’ used by Hiroshige, the great Japanese master of the woodblock print. In the early 1890's Wright’s square enclosed the ancient Celtic symbol of the circle of infinity with the cross of faith running through it..." (First Edition)
