"Not having so much to be humbled about, I have tried - with honest arrogance - to describes the tragedy, triumph, and significance of the great man who invariably signed himself Louis H. Sullivan; to tell you why I, through never his disciple - nor that of any man - called him Liebermeister. His own beautiful drawings, from which I have selected those used here, are better testimonies than any I could offer in words." Frank Lloyd Wright.

The titanic task he set himself was to shape his society through architecture, as the Parthenon did for Athens, the Cathedral for Paris. He was the first prophet to build for the American condition. His childhood dream, the mighty Craftsman, was a grandiose vision come to a boy on a farm during a summer vacation, but it had the drive and momentum of a whole civilization.        At eighteen, standing in the Sistine Chapel, he communed in silence with "The first mighty man of Courage . . . power as he had seen it in the mountains, . . . in the open sky, . .. the primal power of Life at work." He saw imagination there, imagination speaking truths beyond reason, timelessly, mysteriously revealing "uncompromising faith in Life, as faith in man. . . .        He determined to seek the forces at work in his own society, to organize them, lead them toward humane ends, and express them in the plastic, rhythmic fluency of buildings. That his vision excelled his accomplishment was a hero's fate; that his prophecy went largely unheeded and unrewarded gave tragic scope, not to himself, but to his purpose, as he intimated by telling his life-story in the third person and calling it, The Autobiography of an Idea....        Includes references to Frank Lloyd Wruight and his relationship to L:ouis Sullivan.

"Genius is possessed him. It reveled in him. And he squandered it." Here is the first detailed life story of this possessed, richly endowed, reckless man. It is a full length biography of magnetic interest in which we witness the growth of the youthful genius – son of parents practiced in the yards -- into an architect already active early in his teens, and ultimately a partner, in his twenties, in the great firm of Adler and Sullivan. We witnessed a memorable scene in which he employs a young man named Frank Lloyd Wright who became, as Mr. Wright later said, "the pencil in his hand"; we experience the relationship that sprang up between them, full of portent for the future of America; we follow his rise as a creator of new forms in building after building planted on fertile Midwest soil..."

An Architect in American Thought (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by Prentice Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, N.J.) Author: Paul, Sherman Description: Dust jacket: Louis Sullivan. An Architect in American Thought treats Sullivan’s writings thoroughly for the first time and serves to place this remarkable man not only in the intellectual context of his day but the main stream of American thought. Louis Sullivan is remembered as a genius in architecture, as a developer of the modern skyscraper, and is the teacher of Frank Lloyd Wright. His theory of fundamentalism, which insisted that form should follow function, broke new ground for twentieth century building design, rescued architecture from bondage to the past, and helped to remake the face of America… Louis Mumford has called Sullivan the "Whitman of American architecture… perhaps the first mind in American architecture that had come to know itself with any fullness in relation to it's soil, it's period, it's civilization, and had been able to absorb fully the many lessons of the century."

Description: Foreword: "In order to understand the full historical and artistic importance of the drawings which we are proudly presenting in the following pages, one would first want to go back to a scene which - as reported by one of the two participants – occurred in a shabby hotel in Chicago on April 14, 1924. A dying architect sat in a wheelchair in his room. Once highly successful, he was now practically forgotten. For the last time he was visited by one of his former draftsmen, a man who had since become a very great architect. Feeling that he was with the only one who shared his vision, the older man turned to the younger and gave him his beloved portfolio of sketches..."

Description: The Home of an Artist-Architect. Louis H. Sullivan's Place at Ocean Springs, Mississippi.” Although attributed to Louis Sullivan, it has been recognized as a design by Frank Lloyd Wright. “Down in the sunny South, between New Orleans and Mobile, where the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico makes one of its beautiful indentations, Biloxi Bay, girt by beach of golden sand and dark green pine trees, there lies a little tract of land some three hundred feet wide and eighteen hundred feet deep, in the midst of a forest.        The white shell road in front runs along a bluff ten feet above the water and beach, curving around in a gentle line.        One passes through the gates to within either by its winding carriage road or bordered paths and up a series of easy steps. There are no signs: ‘Trespassing not allowed.’ Visitors and lovers of Nature are welcome, for this is the resting place of a true believer in real Democracy who has voiced his sentiments in no uncertain tones...” Includes 17 photographs and one illustration.

Description: In 1890 Wright designed the Bungalow (S.005), Stable and Sevant’s Quarters (S.006). In 1955, Richard Nickel made a trip in search of Sullivan architecture. Part of that trip included Ocean Springs. Arriving exhausted from his extensive trip, he took only a few photographs and left for home. "The Sullivan and Charley cottages have been painted over and the stables have been demolished and all that remains of Sullivan’s proud rose garden is an elliptical scar of dead shoots,’ Nickels wrote. "The tall pines and the exotic plants, once controlled, now grow wild but the care once rendered this place is easily sensed." "They All Fall Down," Cahan, 1994, p.72. That same year, 1890, Wright designed a Bungalow (S.007), Guesthouse and Stable Cottage (S.008) for James Charnley. One year later Wright designed the Charnley Residence (1891 - S.009) in Chicago.
