Title: Interiors - July 1950 (Published Monthly by Whitney Publications, Inc., New York)
Author: Drexler, Arthur
Description: "Too many houses, when they are not little stage settings or seen paintings, are mere notion stores, bazaars, or junk shops." Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture for the Arizona desert has a monumental luxury, inseparable from the materials themselves, which is impossible to imitate. The forms he has assigned to stone and wood, in this house, seem logical; they certainly have as art a strength and conviction so personal that questions of logic, attempting to scale the sloping, fortress-like walls, fall to the ground and die. The Pauson house is modelled like sculpture. Shapes and masses of stone are combined to form walls, and wood is used according to its capacities to form shapes which complement the density of the stone (the cantilevered balconies, for example)... Includes eight photographs and illustrations of the Pauson house. (Sweeney 804)

INTERIOR DESIGN Date: 1987 Title: Interior Design - November 1987 (Reprint) (Reprinted from the November 1987 issue of Interior Design, published by Cahners Publishing Company)
Author: Cooper, Jerry
Description: "A Prairie Home Interior. Steelcase’s restoration of the Meyer S. May house in Grand Rapids illuminates the American master architect’s skill as an interior designer. While the Venderbilts were building French Gothic chateaux on Fifth Avenue and baronial piles by the sea in Newport, Frank Lloyd Wright was developing a native American architecture with the Prairie houses he designed in cities of the northern Midwest. Reacting to what he considered gauche stylistic hodgepodges that had little to do with American culture, and perhaps even less to do with the people who lived in them, Wright sought a residential architecture embodying shelter, privacy and the unity of the family itself--all wrapped in a modern aesthetic package and anchored solidly to the earth..." Includes sixteen photographs by John Boucher, and one illustration of the floor plan.

THE WORLD OF INTERIORS Date: 2013
Title: The World of Interiors - November 2013 (Published monthly by Conde Nast Publications Ltd., London)
Author: Brittain-Catlin, Timothy
Description: Learning the Wright Way. Soon after completing his Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Frank Lloyd Wright turned his attention to a smaller project: the design of a girls' primary school in the city's suburbs. For Timothy Brittain-Catlin, the architect's genius is expressed in wholly original forms that are nonetheless clearly Japanese in character. Photography: Sean Myers.
We all know about the architect whose talent for self-mythmaking was as prolific and grandiose as his professional genius itself: I'm looking at you, Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright. The stories that cling to this astonishing man make you gasp at his sheer audacity. Such as the time he came to give a lecture in London, and when a rival's name was as much as mentioned, how his acolytes got up as one and left the room in protest...
Includes twelve photographs. Original cover price $9.50.
